Singapore, January 2008: Cables International has successfully completed supply of all cables to J. Ray McDermotts and their sub-contractors for the prestigious Cuu Long Joint Operating Company Su Tu Vang central processing platform (CPP) in Vietnam.

With the support of our manufacturing partner, JS Cables, all cables were delivered to the project on, or ahead, of schedule. Commented Mr. Brian Sweeny director of Cables International “We are proud to have been associated with such a major and prestigious project and it has been a real pleasure working with the J. Ray McDermott team in Singapore”.

McDermott International Inc.'s subsidiary, J.
