Belg, you're right, see answer gefco... Ok The lease is in payment should follow now!
They were waiting for the leases to be signed by the government before making a down payment, which I can understand, if you don't get the lease you don't need a rig. Shipping would be dependent on a vessel out of Houston or Galveston ports, but I would think there would be frequent sailings. Malcolm's plan is to ship to Brisbane. He has talked to one of our customers there about doing the rig up in their yard and then operating the rig for EE once it reaches Tasmania.
