Shipboard Scientific Support Equipment

2007年8月7日建议编号：0732807机构：特拉华州大学PI：M·霍金斯提交的建议书要求为R/V Hugh Sharp提供五个船上科学支持项目，包括第二个拖网绞车、现有拖网绞车的自动渲染、大直径吊车、更换数字GPS装置和升级安全设备。此外，还要求为“实验室面包车”配备一辆清洁的通用实验室面包车。拟议的绞盘和自动渲染单元被视为后备项目，目前不会提供资金。通用清洁化学面包车将用于支持Geo-Traces项目。一个工作的D-GPS单元对于精确导航是必要的，并将得到资助。特拉华大学将进行大直径吊块的团购，向8艘学术研究船提供14块这种独特的吊块。夏普将通过港湾分公司进行的团购收到所要求的主要安全设备。海洋学教授。安全设备使船舶的所有使用者受益。进行安全物品的团购提供了从一艘船到另一艘船的设备标准化，从而增加了用户对救生设备的熟悉。应该指出的是，R/V夏普不到300总吨，因此没有接受美国海关总署的检查。然而，学术研究船队必须遵守联合国日内瓦办事处的安全标准，这些标准是基于USCG、IMO和SOLAS的规定。拟议的设备将有助于支持大西洋中部地区的科学作业和数据收集。这艘船每年平均支持约30次任务。夏普号是大学公共推广计划不可或缺的一部分，并通过在海岸日开放日期间使用该船、学生海上培训和基于网络的项目，在一年中支持几项教育和公共推广活动。

ABSTRACT7 August 2007Proposal Number: 0732807Institution: University of DelawarePI: M. HawkinsThe proposal as submitted requested five Shipboard Scientific Support items for the R/V Hugh Sharp, including a second trawl winch, auto-render for existing trawl winch, large diameter hanging blocks, a replacement Digital-GPS unit and upgrade safety items. In addition, a general-purpose clean laboratory van was requested for the ?Laboratory Van Pool?. The proposed winch and auto-render units were viewed as back-up items and will not be funded at this time. The general-purpose clean chemistry van will be used to support the Geo-Traces project. A working D-GPS unit is a necessity for precise navigation and will be funded. The University of Delaware will do a group purchase of large diameter hanging blocks, providing 14 of these unique blocks to eight of the academic research vessels. The Sharp will receive the requested major safety equipment through a group purchase being done by Harbor Branch Inst. of Oceanography. Safety equipment benefits all users of the ship. Doing a group purchase of safety items provides standardization of equipment from one ship to another and thus increases user familiarity with life saving equipment. It should be noted the R/V Sharp is less than 300 gross tons and is therefore not USCG inspected. However, the academic research fleet must adhere to the UNOLS safety standards, which are based on USCG, IMO and SOLAS regulations. The proposed equipment will help support scientific operations and data collection in the mid-Atlantic region. The number of missions supported by the ship averages around thirty per year. The Sharp is an integral part of the University public outreach program and supports several educational and public outreach events during the year through the use of the vessel during Coast-Day open-house, student training at sea, and web-based projects.
