Ship Time Request Overview

STR Management has moved to MFP

The US Academic Research Fleet is moving to Marine Facilities Planning (MFP) for scheduling initially and eventually cruise planning.

For all NEW or RESUBMITTED Projects/Ship Time Requests, go to https://mfp.us and create a new SME. Some STRs for projects starting in 2022 and beyond have already been moved to Marine Facilities Planning (mfp.us). Check your MFP Science Portal for any projects that might already be moved. If you need to make edits to projects that begin in 2022 and beyond, please contact mfp@unols.org for assistance. Be sure to indicate the Project and STR IDs that you would like to edit. For more information on getting into MFP, see the More Information button below.

Project Description and Facility Requirements
Project Web Page:
Summary of Field Work: Deployment and recovery operations of one sediment trap mooring (with multiple traps on the mooring), water pumping, and box/multi-coring at mooring site on the Bermuda Rise. The mooring will consist of 5 sediment trap clusters located at 300, 1000, 1500, 2000, and 4400 m water depth. Pumping will occur at the trap depths and some closer to the surface, and coring will occur on-site as well. We are planning a total of six cruises over 18 months (one every three months).
Summary of Facility Requirements: We need a ship with enough deck space for deployment and recovery of a 5-trap mooring, a winch capable of spooling approximately 4200 m of 1/4" jacketed wire rope, a block capable of passing the wire rope with pear links and shackles, and a capstan for assistance in removing/adding traps during recovery/deployment operations. We also need a separate winch with sufficient wire to core in water depths of 4500 m, and to accommodate clip-on water pumps.
