Ship Operations

夏威夷大学将在2010年运营R/V MOANA WAVE。 1993年作为一般海洋学船支持NSF资助的 研究项目。 MOANA WAVE是一项210'的综合研究， 一艘由美国海军拥有的船只，在2004年作为联合国后勤事务处的船只运营。 支持学术研究。1993年初，MOANA WAVE将支持 全球变化项目TOGA-CORE。4月下旬，该船将 支持为期40天的ODP巡航，该巡航将绘制海底区域 海底裂谷系统与大陆地壳汇合 新几内亚东南端的伍德拉克盆地。 容器 然后将支持关岛和日本之间的海军巡航。以下 MOANA WAVE号在日本附近的巡航将进入一个广泛的 造船时期。 在返回服务的船舶将支持 一次物理海洋学巡航， 檀香山。在今年的剩余时间里，MOANA WAVE将支持 从夏威夷出发的短途巡航，包括夏威夷时间系列 项目 MOANA WAVE是NSF使用的学术船队的一部分， 支持海洋研究。 大多数海洋学研究 需要高度专业化的设备， 安装在船舶上，船舶必须专门 设计了这种设备还需要训练有素的船员 用于维护和操作。这些船只不在 与普通货船或渔船相同，因此，NSF 支持各种船只的运作，特别是 致力于海洋学研究， 全国各地的大学和研究机构。

The University of Hawaii will operate the R/V MOANA WAVE in 1993 as a general oceanographic vessel in support of NSF-funded research projects. The MOANA WAVE is a 210' general research vessel owned by the U.S. Navy and operated as a UNOLS vessel in support of academic research. In early 1993 MOANA WAVE will support the global change project TOGA-CORE. In late April the vessel will support a 40 day ODP cruise, which will map an area of the seafloor where undersea rift system are converging with continental crust off the southeast tip of New Guinea (Woodlark Basin). The vessel will then support Navy cruises between Guam and Japan. Following the cruise off Japan the MOANA WAVE will enter an extensive shipyard period. On returning to service the vessel will support a physical oceanography cruise that will take the vessel back to Honolulu. For the remainder of the Year, MOANA WAVE will support short cruise out of Hawaii including the Hawaii Time Series project. The MOANA WAVE is part of the academic fleet used by NSF to support oceanographic research. Most oceanographic research requires highly specialized equipment that must be permanently installed on a ship for which the ship must be specifically designed. This equipment also requires highly trained crew members for maintenance and operation. These vessels do not operate in the same manner as general cargo or fishing vessels, therefore, NSF supports the operation of a variety of vessels specifically dedicated to oceanographic research that are operated by universities and research institutions around the country.
