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: 2014 Ship/Facility: Pelican
Optimum Start Date: 5/1/2014 Dates to Avoid: We need at least a week of separation between AUV and Lander work cruises due to overlap of personnel and preparation / maintenance of equipment
 
 
Earliest Start Date: 4/15/2014 Multi-Ship Op: No
Latest Start Date: 5/15/2014 Other Ship(s):

Operating Days Needed: Science Days Mob Days De-Mob Days Estimated Transit Days Total Days

Repeating Cruise?
(within same year)
Yes Interval: 6 # of Cruises: 2

Description of Repeating cruise requirements: We are requesting an early May and a late September cruise for optimal use of moored scientific instrumentation. A total of two cruises are planned for 2014, with the first cruise being funded and the second cruise currently pending the funding.
Justification/Explanation for ship choice, dates,
conflicts, number of days & multi-ship operations:
Instrumentation deployments are optimal if cruises can be scheduled to be within a time frame of 6 months to allow for optimal sampling period and avoid loss in time series operations of ongoing deployments.
Work Area for Cruise
