Ship Operations

9701522罗利夏威夷大学将在1997年把R/V MOANA WAVE作为一艘支持国家科学基金会资助的研究项目的普通海洋船使用。MOANA WAVE是一艘210英尺长的研究船，由美国海军拥有，作为联合国难民事务高级专员办事处的船只运行，以支持学术研究。这艘船计划航行190天，其中170天是为了支持NSF赞助的项目。所有的邮轮都在太平洋上，有三个国家科学基金会的邮轮在关岛附近。剩下的NSF巡航是在夏威夷以外的短期巡航，以支持夏威夷时间系列项目。此外，该船还将支持美国国家海洋和大气局的三次短途航行。MOANA波是NSF用于支持海洋研究的学术舰队的一部分。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，NSF支持由全国各地的大学和研究机构运营的各种专门用于海洋研究的船只的运作。***

9701522 RALEIGH The University of Hawaii will operate the R/V MOANA WAVE in 1997 as a general oceanographic vessel in support of NSF-funded research projects. The MOANA WAVE is a 210' research vessel owned by the U.S. Navy and operated as a UNOLS vessel in support of academic research. The ship is scheduled for 190 days of which 170 are in support of NSF-sponsored programs. All of the cruises are in the Pacific with three NSF cruises in the vicinity of Guam. The remaining NSF cruises are of short duration out of Hawaii in support the Hawaii Time Series project. In addition the vessel will support three short cruises for NOAA. 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. ***
