Ship Operations Support, R/V Cape Hatteras

杜克大学将在1993年把哈特拉斯角R/V号作为支持国家科学基金会赞助的研究项目的一艘普通海洋船使用。哈特拉斯号是一艘135英尺高的通用科考船，由美国国家科学基金会所有，由杜克大学运营。该船计划在1993年总共使用216天，其中193天用于支持国家科学基金会赞助的项目。剩下的23天用于支持ONR、能源部和北卡罗来纳州的项目。哈特拉一家将于1993年头四个月在百慕大以外的地区运作。在进行四个月的升级和改装期间，该船将接管通常由WeatherBird II执行的工作。今年剩下的时间里，哈特拉将在其母港波弗特运营，在那里，工作将沿着卡罗莱纳州和弗吉尼亚州的陆架和斜坡地区进行。这艘船将支持生物、地震、取心和地球化学的混合。今年年底的日程安排很紧。这段时间将用于继续维护和升级。

Duke University will operate the R/V CAPE HATTERAS during 1993 as a general oceanographic vessel in support of NSF-sponsored research projects. The HATTERAS is a 135' general purpose research vessel owned by the National Science Foundation and operated by Duke University. The vessel is scheduled in 1993 for a total of 216 days, of which 193 are in support of NSF-sponsored projects. The remaining 23 days are in support of ONR, DOE and the State of N. Carolina projects. The Hatteras will operate out of Bermuda the first four months of 1993. The vessel will take over the work normally performed by WEATHERBIRD II while it is undergoing a four month upgrade and conversion. The rest of the year the HATTERAS will operate out of its home port, Beaufort, where work will be done along the shelf and slope regions of the Carolinas and Virginia. The ship will support a mixture of biology, seismic and coring and geochemistry. The schedule for the end of the year is light. This period will be used to continue maintenance and upgrade.
