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: Collaborative research: Heat flow mapping and quantification at ASHES hydrothermal vent field using an observatory imaging sonar Project Status: Submitted
Principal Investigator: Karen Bemis, Rutgers_IMCS Project Institution: Rutgers_IMCS
Project ID: 106299 Version #: 2
Date Submitted: 10/17/2018 12:25:00 PM Created By: Karen Bemis
Date Last Modified: 10/18/2018 2:39:00 PM URI Serial #: None
Funding Agencies: NSF/OCE/MGG - NONE - Funded
NSF/OCE/OTIC - NONE - Funded
Summary of Field Work: Overall, the field work is recover COVIS (Cabled Observatory Vent Imaging Sonar), repair COVIS, and re-deploy COVIS. A longer description: Disconnect COVIS from OOI Cabled Array (it is currently at ASHES vent field in the Axial Caldera). Recover COVIS to ship. Repair COVIS which mostly likely requires transport to Newport then Seattle and then transport to meet ship once repaired. Redeploy COVIS in the same site in ASHES vent field on Axial Caldera including reconnection to Cabled Array.
Summary of Facility Requirements: recovery and deployment need an ocean going ship with multiple winches and an ROV. Coordination with the OOI Cabled Array operation is a must. Summer 2019 this means Ship is Atlantic and ROV is Jason. COVIS operations will require an additional winch to bring COVIS over ship's edge independent of the ROV. ROV is needed both for the actual recovery and deployment as well as the disconnection and connection from the Cabled Array.
Summary of other requirements and comments: coordination with OOI Cabled Array cruises is a must

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

Description of Repeating cruise requirements: Doing both recovery and deployment in 2019 would require being on separate legs of the OOI Cabled Array cruise but I don't think this is being handled as an repeating cruise
Justification/Explanation for ship choice, dates,
conflicts, number of days & multi-ship operations:
recovery of COVIS needs some part of 1 day
redeployment of COVIS needs some part of 1 day but is anticipated to be on a different leg of the OOI Cabled Array cruise so we are requesting it as a second day
mob and demob time less than 0.25 days so not requesting additional time

Will need ROV (Jason) to connect and disconnect cables and assist in recovery and deployment; Atlantis should have the winches necessary but this has not been varified
