Ship Request

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.

  Cabled Array O&M  -  2018  -  Thomas G. Thompson  
  Project Information  
Project Title: OOI-Cabled Array Operations and Maintenance Cruise 2018 Project Status: Submitted
Principal Investigator: Deborah S. Kelley, UW Project Institution: UW
Project ID: 105575 Version #: 1
Date Submitted: 12/22/2016 1:37:00 PM Created By: Deborah S. Kelley
Date Last Modified: 7/6/2018 10:23:00 AM URI Serial #: None
Funding Agencies: NSF-OOI/OOI - NONE - Funded
Summary of Field Work: The O&M Cabled Array cruise will turn >100 instruments and secondary infrastructure that includes junction boxes, benthic experiment packages, and instrumented science pods on moorings. A mooring turn may also be included. Verification samples and data will be collected for water column instruments via several CTD casts.
Summary of Facility Requirements: Because of the significant amount of infrastructure to be turned and personnel requirements requirements of >20 team members, the R/V Thompson is required. Turning of instruments and infrastructure will require an ROV.

Foreign Clearance and Permitting Requirements
Foreign Clearance Required? No Coastal States:
 Important Info on Foreign Research Clearances  

Are you or any member in your science party bringing in any science equipment items which are regulated for export by the International Traffic in Arms Regulations (ITAR) and/or the Export Administration Regulations (EAR)?
No If yes, have you applied for the necessary permits through your export control office? No
 Questions about ITAR/EAR regulations?

Comments about foreign clearance requirements or
description of any other special permitting requirements
(e.g., MMPA, ESA, IHA, Marine Sanctuaries, etc.)
Port Calls
Requested Start Port Intermediate Port(s) Requested End Port
Seattle, WA, USA Newport, OR, USA Seattle, WA, USA
Explanation/justification for requested
ports and dates of intermediate stops
or to list additional port stops
We request Seattle because significant amount of infrastructure needs mobilized that includes electronics we prefer not to transport long distances because it then needs retested prior to departure. Two stops are required in Newport to offload and mobilize additional gear and transfer personnel with different expertise.
