SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
During the first quarter of 2018, we executed a contract for the construction and delivery of one towing, salvage and rescue ship ("T-ATS") vessel with the U.S. Navy for $63.6 million with an option for seven additional vessels which was subsequently protested by one of the unsuccessful bidders. On July 16, 2018, we were notified that the award was upheld by the U.S. Government Accountability Office and thus given a notification to proceed. We were recently notified that this unsuccessful bidder has filed a subsequent protest with the Department of Justice. We have been granted a partial stay which allows us to proceed with design development, planning, scheduling and material ordering leading up to the start of construction. Actual construction of the vessel cannot begin until a final ruling is issued by the Department of Justice. We are in process of working with the U.S. Navy to re-establish a timeline under this contract.
