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: Polar Code Ship Operations Project Status: Submitted
Principal Investigator: Robert Chadwell, AVTEC Project Institution: AVTEC
Project ID: 106857 Version #: 1
Date Submitted: 7/9/2020 4:46:00 PM Created By: Robert Chadwell
Date Last Modified: 7/9/2020 4:46:00 PM URI Serial #: None
Funding Agencies: STATE - NONE - Funded
Summary of Field Work: I am a USCG approved instructor and teach USCG approved courses required by the International Maritime Organization's Polar Code for ships operating in high latitudes. I teach Basic and Advanced Training for Polar Operations and operate the institutes simulators. My field work would be observing the ship's operations, among other things. The intensive two week course curriculum covers all aspects of high latitude operations to include; in part, polar weather, marine mammals, sensitivity to indigenous populations, voyage planning, ice reporting schemes, ice navigation, on-ice safety, implications for fire fighting in freezing conditions, icebreaker escorting, helicopter operations, use of RADAR in ice. My home institution has hosted several courses for USCG Polar Class cutter crews and if I recall correctly, the USCGC HEALY crew as well.
Summary of Facility Requirements: My research would involve only observing ship operations as it relates to my field work. As a U.S. Merchant Marine captain I have the experience to conduct these observations unobtrusively and diplomatically.
