HAZIRA PIPELINE STABILIZATION PROJECT

(NIKO RESOURCES LTD)

Dear Mr Jaria

Clough recently completed the Hazira Mattress laying work scope for the Hazira pipeline stabilization project.

The works were carried out from the Clough Challenge barge, for which Clough Engineering hired an American 9310 crane for the deployment of the mattress over board and loading and unloading the Clough Challenge barge from Crown lifters.

Now the project has been completed I would like to pass on my thanks to Crown lifters for the use of this crane, for the works between the 26^th Feb 05 till the 26^th April 05.

The team members supplied by Crown lifters to operate and maintain the crane proved to be valuable and the crane operated very well during the hire period.

Should Clough find they have another need for such a large crane again we would be happy to hire this crane again, and would recommend this crane to other contractors.

Regards

Patrick Flynn
