In making this announcement, Herbert C. Leeming, UnderSea's CEO, stated: "We are fully confident that our perseverance and hard work in Haiti will pay off this spring with the issuance of the permit. Assuming that to be the case, we still believe we can get in Haitian waters on a major shipwreck project this year, which is our primary objective. Additionally, we are now setting up meetings with other Caribbean countries with a view to securing other permits."
