Ship Operations

迈阿密大学将在1993年期间将R/VS、ISELIN和Calanus作为支持国家科学基金会赞助的研究项目的一般海洋船使用。R/V ISELIN是迈阿密大学拥有和建造的一艘170英尺的通用研究船。尽管这艘船能够进行世界范围的海洋学研究，但它主要在大西洋航行。它将于1993年4月至7月在美国东北海岸作业。ISELIN号将于7月在百慕大附近进行两次巡航，随后将于8月和9月在巴哈马和加勒比海进行两次巡航。最后一次巡航将于10月和11月在太平洋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英尺高的通用科考船。Calanus号通常在佛罗里达海岸附近短途航行。1993年，Calanus将进行一系列短途巡航，其间在巴哈马群岛进行两次巡航，在墨西哥湾进行一次巡航。这些船只是美国国家科学基金会用于支持海洋研究的船队的一部分。大多数海洋研究需要高度专业化的设备，这些设备必须永久安装在必须为其专门设计的船只上。这种设备还需要训练有素的船员进行维护和操作。这些船只的运作方式与普通货船或渔船不同，因此国家科学基金会支持各种专门用于海洋研究的船只的运作，这些船只由大学和研究机构以及全国各地运营。

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.
