Hi K Check,
Heard from Neil that Chevron is considering to postpone Jan & Feb PM to March 2016 for 16 days PM due to no bed space. The chopper for Feb PM has been booked, and our staff are on standby. As such we seek your help that this Feb PM 8 days will not be postponed.:
1. We have provided 24 beds for portacamp (Chevron require minimum 20 beds), the additional beds for our guys to use during PM. Due to heavy usage the camp is now full which is good for Chevron, but not so good for the portacamp equipment if the regular PM is postponed/ neglected.
2. Our Thai coordinator is asking for her monthly salary/ allowances, and Songkhla yard is asking for monthly rent. These monies are taken from the monthly PM. If PM is postponed from Jan to March (2 mths), it means that we will also be late in paying them.
3. This month we have bigger cash outflow due to liferaft servicing at cost with 0% markup. Our Thai vendors asking cash before delivery, meaning if we don’t pay they hold the goods/ delay delivery.
4. Chevron was planning to discuss contract renewal in beginning of March, after the Feb PM. If PM postponed till March, what will it mean for contract discussion?
Please understand we are just clarifying (not complaining) and only seek some mutual benefit solution. Thank you.
