Ship Operations

迈阿密大学在1993年期间将使用ISELIN号和CALANUS号作为一般海洋研究船，以支助国家科学基金会赞助的研究项目。R/V ISELIN是一艘由迈阿密大学拥有和建造的170英尺的通用研究船。虽然这艘船有能力进行世界范围的海洋学考察，但它主要在大西洋航行。1993年，它将从4月到7月在美国东北海岸工作。ISELIN将于7月在百慕大进行两次巡航，随后于8月和9月在巴哈马群岛和加勒比海进行两次巡航。最后一次航行将于10月和11月在太平洋的加拉帕戈斯群岛附近进行。R/V CALANUS是迈阿密大学拥有的一艘68年的通用研究船。“卡拉努斯”号通常在佛罗里达海岸附近进行短途巡航。1993年，卡拉努斯号将进行一系列短途巡航，其中两次在巴哈马群岛，一次在墨西哥湾。这些船只是美国国家科学基金会用于支持海洋学研究的船队的一部分。大多数海洋学研究需要高度专业化的设备，这些设备必须永久安装在船上，并且该船必须专门设计。该设备还需要训练有素的机组人员进行维护和操作。这些船只的运作方式与普通货船或渔船不同，因此NSF支持由大学和研究机构以及全国各地运营的各种专门用于海洋学研究的船只的运作。

The University of Miami will operate the R/Vs ISELIN and CALANUS during 1993 as general oceanographic vessels in support of NSF- sponsored research projects. The R/V ISELIN is a 170' general research vessel owned and constructed by the University of Miami. Although the vessel is capable of world-wide oceanography it sails mainly in the Atlantic. In 1993 it will work off the northeast coast of the U.S. from April until July. The ISELIN will do two cruises off Bermuda in July, followed by two in the Bahamas and Caribbean in August and September. The final cruise will be in October and November off the Galapagos Islands in the Pacific. The R/V CALANUS is a 68' general research vessel owned by the University of Miami. The Calanus normally sails off the coast of Florida on short cruises. In 1993 Calanus will do a series of short cruises interspersed with two cruises in the Bahamas and one in the Gulf of Mexico. These vessels are part of a 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 and around the country.
