CMG, I agree that finding a shallow water jack up won't be an issue at all and there are a number close by that could be on location in no time at all, as I previously stated the long lead items are 3rd party equipment. It is not as simple as just shipping the equipment as it will have to clear customs and in West Africa this can be somewhat problematic.
On a recent project in Senegal equipment could take 4-6 weeks to clear, I was once in Limbe around 1998 and we spent more time waiting on materials to clear customs than actual time working. That said things could have changed in Cameroon.
