Is the subsea and offshore terrain of Australia particularly difficult to work in?
Yes and no. In a lot of cases people overemphasize the difficulties of the geological aspects of a site, whilst underestimating the seastate conditions. In other instances it is the other way around. Or both are underestimated. Yes, Australia has unique conditions to work in, but with proper engineering these can be overcome. Sometimes, though, this requires rethinking a pipeline route. (I have seen this many times). Sometimes there is a misperception on what the difficulties are. For Atteris, are the biggest challenges ahead more so on the engineering side of the business or human resources? The problem is not with human resources. We have always been able to find good, motivated, qualified, and experienced people without a problem. The engineering challenges are definitely there. But for every challenge engineers have always been able to find a solution, as long as you engage the right people (with the right experience) and follow the right (proven) processes. I think the key is to e
