The following is an updated report from our executive team in Bahrain.

• Six trauma counsellors were mobilised from United Kingdom and South Africa to Bahrain and have engaged extensively with the survivors and next-of-kin;
• Almost all death certificates have been issued by the Bahrain authorities;
• The transport of the mortal remains of the deceased back to their next-of-kin will commence shortly and is expected to be completed by the end of the week;
• The majority of survivors have lodged statements with the Bahrain authorities in terms of the official investigation into the accident;
• A replacement project leadership team was mobilised to the World Trade Centre today but full production will commence only when it is deemed safe to do so;
• Subcontractors, service providers and associate companies to the project have also commenced with the remobilisation of their management teams;

In addition

• Contact has been maintained with the families of both the deceased and the survivors where they are resident outside of Bahrain;
• The British and Bahrain governments have offered significant humanitarian and logistical support to all organisations and individuals affected by this tragedy.
