Shipboard Scientific Support Equipment: Oceanographic Wire Rope

由学术机构运营的大学-国家实验室系统研究船船队为那些需要时间在海上完成调查的国家科学基金会资助的研究人员提供支助服务。所有这些船都使用海洋钢丝绳作为这项研究的一部分。已作出安排，允许批量购买钢丝绳，从而节省了相当大的成本。将购买12卷扭矩平衡钢丝绳。钢丝绳被储存起来，直到东海岸伍兹霍尔海洋研究所(WHOI)和西海岸斯克里普斯海洋研究所的船舶操作员需要为止。世界卫生组织海洋行动协调员唐纳德·A·穆勒先生将管理这一项目。

The University-National Laboratory System (UNOLS) fleet of research vessels, operated by academic institutions, provides support services to those NSF sponsored researchers who require time at sea to complete their investigations. All of these ships use oceanographic wire rope as part of this research support. Arrangements have been made which allow bulk purchases of wire rope resulting in considerable cost savings. Twelve reels of torque balanced wire rope will be purchased. The wire rope is stored until needed by ship operators at the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution (WHOI) on the east coast and at the Scripps Institution of Oceanography on the west coast. Mr. Donald A. Moller, Marine Operations Coordinator, WHOI, will manage this project.
