Much of the affected cables are managed under the SEAIOCMA (South
East Asia Indian Ocean Cable Maintenance Agreement). I am not sure
how many ships they have on stand-by in the region, but probably not
enough to send out one ship to each of the faults, given that
multiple faults have been reported on most cable systems.
I presume, the more important cable systems - those with higher
stakes for the SEAIOCMA signatories will get repaired first followed
by others.
