@Stephen,<div><br></div><div>The cable repair business is quite complicated.</div><div><br></div><div>You see, you just don&#39;t need the cable, but the whole system including the ship. These are special type vehicle which carry out cable repair and the whole system is tied together including the cable and systems that carry out the repairs. The cable have to be part of the system, they can&#39;t be transported alone. And they are also quite bulky for air transport.</div>
