Description of Repeating cruise requirements: |
|
Justification/Explanation for ship choice, dates,
conflicts, number of days & multi-ship operations: |
We will need transit time between the vent fields, 2 weather days, and transit between ports.
I will also be on sabbatical in Europe fall 2013-summer 2014. Of course, I would like to avoid having to cut this sabbatical short if at all possible. |

 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.) |

Requested Start Port |
Intermediate Port(s) |
Requested End Port |
|
Suva Harbor, Fiji Islands |
None |
Suva Harbor, Fiji Islands |
Explanation/justification for requested
ports and dates of intermediate stops
or to list additional port stops |
We'd prefer to use Apia, Samoa or Suva, Fiji as our port because of shipping of cruise gear and flights. Nuku'alofa Tonga would work if needed. Transits are shorter from Tonga though Its just more expensive to fly into Tonga |
