19 days after the contingency generated by the seismic events that affected the submarine cable of the company Cirion Technologies off the coast of La Guaira, the National Telecommunications Commission (CONATEL) informs the nation that thanks to the technical and operational coordination between the Venezuelan State and the private sector, the specialized vessel responsible for re-establishing the international link is already en route to our territorial waters, marking a decisive step for the normalization of Internet service in the country.

The complexity of this contingency has required an unprecedented inter-institutional logistical effort. A maritime operation of this nature usually requires more than 45 days to obtain the corresponding permits, details a press release.

However, the coordinated action between CONATEL, the various ministries and competent authorities made it possible to implement an exceptional plan of regulatory speed, achieving all the authorizations in just 14 days.

This timely institutional support was essential for Cirion Technologies, supported by its contingency protocols and its investment in international maintenance networks, to be able to mobilize the vessel in record time, demonstrating the effectiveness of working together.

In this regard, the president of Cluster Norte of Cirion Technologies, María Claudia Rey Castillo, valued the deployment of the Venezuelan State to make this speed of response possible, stressing that the achievements achieved in these two weeks would normally take months and will be the key to making Venezuela 100 percent connected again.

Following the strict international schedule, the vessel made a logistical stop in Curaçao between July 11 and 12 to join the specialized crew and supply itself with the necessary technical equipment, planning to enter Venezuelan waters between July 16 and 17.

From that moment on, a high-precision maneuver will be carried out at 1,800 meters deep, involving the use of underwater robotics and fiber optic laser fusion to guarantee the definitive return of the service.
