Overall profitability was up by 16%, year over year, due to asset additions, and continually improving market conditions. The sequential decline in overall profitability was mostly due to seasonality, a planned drydocking for the Seawell and unplanned downtime for the Q4000, caused by a reoccurrence of thruster issues. These cannot be rebuilt until her drydocking in Q3, and will limit vessel performance in the meantime. The improved profitability in Shelf Construction (Cal Dive) points to continued growth well beyond the peak of the underwater activity caused by the 2005 hurricanes. Profit margins improved sequentially in Deepwater although we have not yet fully worked through the backlog of lower margin work bid in 2005 for our pipelay assets. Our robotics group (Canyon) had an encouraging start to the year with both ROV support work and early season pipe burial projects. Although continued downhole safety valve issues caused a decline in throughput at the Marco Polo facility, we were pleased to achieve mechanical completion at the Independence Hub during the quarter.
