Mr. Peter Hendrick:

Some 300 are directly employed by NBI and then we have all of our contractors, including designers and builders. The figure does not take into account those employed indirectly in all of the logistics that go on in the background with regard to supplying material and equipment. I would say that three or four times that number are indirectly employed.
