Notes:
1 The start date reflects the initial port call day. The vessel sails when ready.
2 Preliminary total estimated transit (i.e., to and from operational area and between sites).
3 The tie up may occur at a port other than Reykjavík.
4 Amsterdam is the tentative demobilization port. If a different port is identified, it is expected to be in northern continental Europe..
