"We would like to congratulate you on your excellent management of the detail and complexity during the extensive preparations leading up the Games, and your flawless delivery during the 2012 Games themselves.

Keeping so many boats on full operational duty, many with 24 hour availability with a near 100% service level is a full testament to every aspect of your operation. Well done indeed"
