requirements that could affect choice
of ship in scheduling. |
Need DP for ROV dives
|
|
|
|
Explain Major Ancillary Facilities
Requirements and list description
and provider for "other" systems. |
ROV requires space for control van and their winch with electro-mechanical tether for ROV - multibeam surveys of seamounts will precede and/or accompany ROV dives |
