Dropping an anchor on main fibre.

With a GPS this would be easy to avoid, but when I was looking into some of my charts, I didn´t find any international cables? Could they be considered a security issue and not charted? I once caught a military cable when dragging, of course not charted.

This may be of help:

Cool site, I just passed it along to a few friends!
Thank you.

I had a questioned that I had wondered for a long time but had been unable to find the answer. I tried checking out that web site but still did not find the answer.
I once was told that there is an underwater fuel pipe line running into Ft. Luaderdale to Port Everglades coming from the west end of Freeport Bahama island. I have always seen large tankers unloading fuel there at a long xtended dock out in the ocean. The story went that they built the pipe line so the tankers do not have to enter port everglades. I have looked on charts to see if anything was marked but did not see anything.
Does any one know any thing about this?

Back in 2004, a company called Enron won approval for a proposal to lay a natural gas pipeline from Grand Bahama to Port Everglades to tie into the existing gas line in Broward County (FLL).
As there were environmental concerns, I don't believe it went anywhere.

Just another pipedream.

5 cables cut and counting,...

...., and this time not the result of a ship's anchor cutting the cable:

Excerpt.../"A total of five cables being operated by two submarine cable operators have been damaged with a fault in each. These are SeaMeWe-4 (South East Asia-Middle East-Western Europe-4) near Penang, Malaysia, the FLAG Europe-Asia near Alexandria, FLAG near the Dubai coast, FALCON near Bandar Abbas in Iran and SeaMeWe-4, also near Alexandria. © 2008 Mena Report (www.menareport.com):eek: "​

Apparently not an anchor originally either:

Now who was it who shot down a weather satellite about this time last year?

I don't think it that part of the world it would have been the Loch Ness Monster more likely Scylla or Charybdis.

Whatever the reason, I am happy that the spam flood has decreased by 90 percent lately...

Great minds,...
