Explanation

• Cost: Confidence in cost is lower than the benchmark because of potential cost effects of delay due to submarine availability affecting the installation program.

Requirements to Technical Uncertainty and Technical Difficulty: These elements are slightly lower than the benchmark to reflect that the final version of software (APB 07) being developed under the Project has not yet been fully tested and installed which is scheduled for early 2011. Overall though, the current version of software, APB 06, provides sufficient capability and stability for the platform to achieve IOR.
