          When load out operations commenced on 11 April 2017, the Hengtong
          HV company were also loading out products, so the gantry system &
          Port successfully demonstrated triple line load outs, showing no conflict

          The marine portion of the sea trial operation covered 30 days of activity
          over the timeline from 2017.4.11 to 2017.5.10

          Hengtong Marine HOUC-1 un-repeatered cable and HORC-1 repeatered
          cable products were integrated with HMN R1(2 fiber pair) repeaters &
          R2 (6 fiber pair) repeaters and Universal Joints & Universal Quick Joints.

          SBSS was selected as the preferred marine operator and the CS Fu Hai
          was mobilized to Hengtong Port for the project, equipped with a SMD
          MD3 cable burial plough capable of 2m to 3m burial into the seabed.
          Three sea trial locations were selected for the trials, generally lying to
          the South and South East of Japan, in an open exposed Pacific Ocean   ● 500m water depth HOUC-1 un-repeatered cable plough burial trial (3
