This document contains project instructions for EX-18-10. Operations for this cruise will be conducted 24 hours/day and consist of telepresence enabled seafloor mapping operations. The expedition will commence on October 3, 2018 in Davisville, Rhode Island and conclude on October 24, 2018 in San Juan, Puerto Rico. Operations will include the use of the ship’s deep water mapping systems (Kongsberg EM302 multibeam sonar, EK60 split-beam fisheries sonars, Knudsen 3260 chirp sub-bottom profiler sonar, and Teledyne Acoustic Doppler Current Profiler), XBT and CTD casts in support of multibeam sonar mapping operations, and the ship’s high-bandwidth satellite connection for real-time ship-to-shore communications. Operations are planned south east of Bermuda in the high seas.
