Seacom has revealed an estimated repair date for its damaged cable in the Red Sea region.
Seacom has announced that it expects repairs to faults on its cable in the Red Sea region to be completed in the third quarter of 2024.
However, repairs to its subsea cables in the Red Sea region are taking longer. The cable was damaged in late February 2024. “We would like to thank them for their patience and trust as we wrap up this current process,” he added.“It’s generally accepted that the Rubymar dropped an anchor when fired upon and as a result it damaged cables in proximity,” said International Cable Protection Committee general manager Ryan Wopschall.
“Seacom still continues to carry traffic on its own cable between Kenya, Tanzania, Mozambique, and South Africa for both transmission and IP services,” it added.
