Expect to enter shipyard in 1Q 2008 for +/- 100 days to upgrade to NC-5SM mooring standard (inclusive of work to complete hurricane damage repairs).  In consideration of the NC-5SM upgrade, the indicated contract dayrates will result in an effective dayrate during the period of 8/08/2007 through 5/03/2008 of $329k-$331k, reduced to 95% of the operating dayrate for the first 60 days in the shipyard ($313k-$314k) and 80% of the operating dayrate for any days in the shipyard from 60 days ($263k-$265k) up to 85 days.  Anticipate 15 days at zero rate in 2Q 2008.
