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.

  Project Information  
Project Title: BEAMS Program Cruise 2016 Project Status: Submitted
Principal Investigator: Leslie R. Sautter, COFC Project Institution: COFC
Project ID: 105042 Version #: 1
Date Submitted: 9/15/2015 5:39:00 PM Created By: Leslie R. Sautter
Date Last Modified: 12/7/2016 2:53:00 PM URI Serial #: None
Funding Agencies: OTHER - NONE - Funded
Summary of Field Work: Conduct multibeam sonar and sidescan sonar surveys of hardground areas on the mid-continental shelf off the Georgia coast.
Summary of Facility Requirements: Require CTD, and winch. Bottom sediment sampler is needed as well.
Summary of other requirements and comments: We will work with Kongsberg to supply an EM2040C multibeam sonar, to mount on the ship's pole mount.

Repeating Cruise?
(within same year)
No Interval:   # of Cruises:  

Description of Repeating cruise requirements: n/a
Justification/Explanation for ship choice, dates,
conflicts, number of days & multi-ship operations:
We have used this vessel for the past 2 years, and the multibeam sonar can be rigged very effectively. The number of berths is suitable for our needs as well.
Work Area for Cruise
Short Description of Op Area
for use in schedules:
Georgia shelf
Description of Op Area: Hard bottom areas identified by SC MARMAP program, on the mid-shelf off the Georgia coast
Op Area Size/Dia.: highly variable
