Shipboard Scientific Support Equipment, R/V Cape Hatteras

该项目将为哈特拉斯角号科考船提供船上科学支持设备，哈特拉斯角号是美国国家科学基金会拥有的一艘科考船，由杜克大学海洋实验室运营，专门用于支持海洋科学研究。船上科学支持设备方案为被认为对适当和安全地进行海洋科学研究至关重要的船舶设备提供资金。该方案为以下项目提供支助：甲板设备，包括用于部署和取回科学仪器的绞车系统，导航设备，如雷达、陀螺仪和地球卫星接收器，以确定研究地点的位置，通信设备，包括用于语音和科学数据通信的无线电收发信机和卫星收发信机，以及用于运送科学家往返数据检索地点的机动工作船等其他设备。项目主任昆汀·M·刘易斯完全有资格指导这一项目，他在监督船上设备的购置和安装方面拥有丰富的经验。该项目将允许该机构检修拖网绞车并安装海洋卫生设备。

This project will supply shipboard scientific support equipment for the research vessel CAPE HATTERAS, an NSF-owned research vessel, operated by the Duke University Marine Laboratory, and dedicated to use in support of ocean science research. The Shipboard Scientific Support Equipment Program provides funds for ship equipment deemed essential to the proper and safe conduct of ocean science research. This Program provides support for such items as deck equipment including winch systems for the deployment and retrieval of scientific instruments, navigational equipment such as radars, gyroscopes and earth satellite receivers to pin point the location of research sites, communication equipment including radio transceivers and satellite transceivers for voice and scientific data communications and other equipment such as motorized workboats for transporting scientists to and from data retrieval sites. The Project Director, Quentin M. Lewis is fully qualified to direct this project having had considerable experience in overseeing the acquisition and installation of shipboard equipment. This project will allow the institution to overhaul the trawl winch and install a marine sanitation device.
