Description of Repeating cruise requirements: |
|
Justification/Explanation for ship choice, dates,
conflicts, number of days & multi-ship operations: |
Cruise will need firm mobe/demobe schedule to comply with OOI scheduling requirements. A follow-on 28-day cruise in August 2013 using the Thompson and ROPOS will be required for installation of infrastructure at Hydrate Ridge as part of the RSN OOI installation |
