Ship Operations

0072976 ljunggren哥伦比亚大学- lamont Doherty地球观测站（CU-LDEO）将在2000年期间使用R/V Ewing作为一般海洋研究船，以支持美国国家科学基金会支持的研究项目。Ewing是一艘230英尺长的船，于1983年建造，并于1990年进行了改装，由NSF所有，由CU-LDEO运营。该船计划在2000年总共运行267天，其中所有的日子都是为了支持nsf支持的调查人员。“尤因”号上计划进行的项目涉及多个海洋学学科，主要是mg&g，并将充分利用该船的能力。行动将在太平洋地区开始：新西兰利特尔顿；巴布亚新几内亚；然后是中美洲的太平洋海岸。尤因号随后将通过巴拿马运河前往新芬兰，与R/V Oceanus号一起进行两艘船的作业，并前往佛罗里达海岸。在10月至12月期间，该船将停工，开始第一阶段的中期改装。尤因号是美国国家科学基金会用于支持海洋科学研究的船队的一部分。大多数海洋学项目都需要在船上永久安装高度专业化的设备，因此需要专门的船只。这些船只的运作模式与一般货船/渔船不同。因此，NSF支持由全国各地的大学和机构运营的各种专门用于海洋学研究的船舶的运作

0072976LjunggrenColumbia University-Lamont Doherty Earth Observatory (CU-LDEO) will operate the R/V Ewing during 2000 as a general oceanographic research vessel in support of NSF-supported research projects. The Ewing is a 230 ft. vessel, constructed in 1983 and was modified in 1990, and is owned by NSF and operated by CU-LDEO. The vessel is scheduled for a total of 267 operational days during 2000, of which all days are in support of NSF-supported investigators. The projects scheduled on the Ewing represent several oceanographic disciplines, mainly MG&G, and will fully utilize the capabilities of the vessel. Operations will begin in the Pacific: Lyttelton, New Zealand; Papua, New Guinea; and then the Pacific Coast off of Central America. The Ewing will then transit through the Panama Canal to New Foundland to conduct a two ship operation with the R/V Oceanus, and to the Florida coast. During the period from October-December, the vessel will be in lay-up to commence Phase I of a mid-life refit.The Ewing is part of a fleet of ships used by the National Science Foundation in support of marine science research. Most oceanographic projects require highly specialized equipment to be permanently installed on the vessel, thus the necessity for specialized ships. These vessels do not operate in the same mode as general cargo/fishing vessels. As a result, NSF supports the operation of a variety of ships specifically dedicated to oceanographic research that are operated by universities and institutions around the country.***
