Update – The cable ship has been over PC-1 damage area for some time now with no further bad news being reported.
At this stage our expectation is that this path will be restored during May, however we do not wish to specify a day due to the length of this outage being over 6 months, and there is still a chance for additional faults to be found as well as severe weather still being present in the area.

Update – PC-1 remains down.
We have some information that another repair attempt will be made during March, however expectations are currently low for recovery within March due to possible extensive damage.
