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.

Description of Repeating cruise requirements:
Justification/Explanation for ship choice, dates,
conflicts, number of days & multi-ship operations:
I have added one science day to the request. At the time we made this request, it was my impression that a science day was a day at sea. However, as days are counted in these requests, the final science day begins at 8:00 am at the dock. (That day does can not be used for science and so should not be counted as a science day.) The math on the 13 days is thus: 12 days of science operations at sea plus one day, the 29th day, spent at the dock. Note that due to our expectation of good weather (we were hoping for a summer-time cruise) I budgeted only 2 days of contingency, which is small for a recovery cruise of short duration (where 1 day makes a big difference). We are now in the worst possible weather window for this location.
