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.

requirements that could affect choice
of ship in scheduling.

Will be recovering 30 Broadband OBS so we need a large ship. Dynamic positioning makes OBS recoveries more reliable. Need to collect additional bathymetry, hence requirement for multibeam. We also need to acquire magnetics and gravity data. We need the ship to have a working magnetometer and gravimeter.
