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: Deep ocean Assessment and Reporting of Tsunamis (DART) Buoy Maintenance Project Status: Submitted
Principal Investigator: Bill Hansen, NOAA_NDBC Project Institution: NOAA_NDBC
Project ID: 105107 Version #: 8
Date Submitted: 12/1/2015 2:31:00 PM Created By: Jeff Jenner
Date Last Modified: 9/7/2016 12:28:00 PM URI Serial #: None
Funding Agencies: NOAA/NWS/NDBC - NONE - Funded
Summary of Field Work: Perform maintenance of Deep-ocean Assessment and Reporting of Tsunamis (DART) buoys and moorings within 1,000 nautical miles radius of Guam. Recover buoys and moorings to the deck of the ship and deploy new buoys, moorings, and anchors.
Summary of Facility Requirements: Summary of Facility Requirements: A vessel with an endurance of 40 days, 7,000 nautical mile endurance. Clear working deck space of 2,500 square feet with a 20,000 SWL A-frame (20 feet wide). Capstan or brailing winch with 10,000 pound pull at 33 ft/min and 2,500 pound pull at 130 ft/min with an automatic brake capacity of 14,000 pounds.
Summary of other requirements and comments: A deck supervisor and at least two members of the deck department. At least one survey technician to operate the ADCP, multibeam, and other ship's data systems.

No Interval: N/A # of Cruises:  

Description of Repeating cruise requirements: N/A
Justification/Explanation for ship choice, dates,
conflicts, number of days & multi-ship operations:
We are flexible on the dates. We want to take advantage of the ship being in Guam or Palau. We will have three people on board and can non-NDBC accommodate ancillary science and scientists that do not impact the mission timeline or buoy operations.
