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.

Requested Ship, Operating Days and Dates
Year: 2020 Ship/Facility: Neil Armstrong
Optimum Start Date: 7/15/2020 Dates to Avoid: seek lowest sea states and winds, June-Aug are climatologically the best

Repeating Cruise?
(within same year)
Yes Interval: 12 months # of Cruises: 7

Description of Repeating cruise requirements: annual service required, driven by power systems and by instrument degradation (biofouling and calibration)
Justification/Explanation for ship choice, dates,
conflicts, number of days & multi-ship operations:
capable, global class ship needed that can carry 4 moorings and anchors; summer months required to optimize chance of success at mooring deployments and improve safety

Foreign Clearance and Permitting Requirements
Foreign Clearance Required? Yes Coastal States:

Greenland
 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.)
Will need min 4 months lead time for Greenland / Denmark clearance application.
