Q3. If we are not able to fulfill any of the operations listed on the Technical Capabilities Matrix, will this remove our company from other (future) operations within our GSO?

A4. Paragraph 5.1 of the PWS for Call 0001, 0002, and 0003 states "it is anticipated that each boat will be utilized for 50 - 80 training hours per month."
