This is to highlight the major concerns on the Delay of Security Systems Progress based on the approved schedule. These delays are keep on progressing due to contractor’s poor performance and poor experience on the Security Systems as per below list of items:

•SONAR System incomplete Cabling works (started December 2014) with 4 months delay. New Submarine cable is currently damaged and subject for replacement which will add more delay.
•Vessel barrier Assembly (started February 2015), installation date is March 2015. Currently on-hold since the manufacturer left the site without official notification to SAPMT.
•RADAR System was delayed for 4 months due to engineering issue and still delay continues due to unavailability of installation team.
•Vehicle X-ray machine still not installed due to incomplete conduit and cabling works.

In addition, reference with SAPMT letters, L-1365/15 and  L-1441/15 where Lack of Key personnel has been requested in compliance to Contract requirements to help and support the project’s progress mainly in engineering and security system and yet no acceptable resolution has been provided.

IC is urged to provide detailed plan and schedule to recover the delays of above mentioned systems and complete the works as soon as possible.
