Oceanus Class Bowthruster Spare Parts Set

该项目将为国家自然科学基金会拥有的专门用于支持海洋科学研究的考察船WECOMA、Oceanus和Endeor提供船上科学支持设备。船上科学支持设备方案为被认为对适当和安全地进行海洋科学研究至关重要的船舶设备提供资金。该方案为以下项目提供支助：甲板设备，包括用于部署和取回科学仪器的绞车系统，导航设备，如雷达、陀螺仪和地球卫星接收器，以确定研究地点的位置，通信设备，包括用于语音和科学数据通信的无线电收发信机和卫星收发信机，以及用于运送科学家往返数据检索地点的机动工作船等其他设备。项目总监Kennard Palfrey完全有资格指导这一项目，他在监督船上设备的采购和安装方面拥有丰富的经验。该项目将使该机构能够为WECOMA上的船首推进器购买一套备件。这些备件将存放在俄勒冈州立大学，为WECOMA或其两艘姊妹船大洋号和奋进号所需的使用做好准备。

This project will provide support for shipboard scientific support equipment for the NSF.owned research vessels WECOMA, OCEANUS and ENDEAVOR which are dedicated to use in support of ocean science research. The Shipboard Scientific Support Equipment Program provides funds for ship equipment deemed essential to the proper and safe conduct of ocean science research. This Program provides support for such items as deck equipment including winch systems for the deployment and retrieval of scientific instruments, navigational equipment such as radars, gyroscopes and earth satellite receivers to pin point the location of research sites, communication equipment including radio transceivers and satellite transceivers for voice and scientific data communications and other equipment such as motorized workboats for transporting scientists to and from data retrieval sites. The Project Director, Kennard Palfrey is fully qualified to direct this project having had considerable experience in overseeing the acquisition and installation of shipboard equipment. The project will allow the institution to acquire a ship.set of spare parts for the bow thruster on the WECOMA. The spares will be housed at the Oregon State University in preparation for use as required for the WECOMA or its two sister ships, the OCEANUS and ENDEAVOR.
