  • Description:
    This document contains project instructions for EX-19-02. This cruise will be conducted 24 hours/day to perform shakedown operations of the deep-sea mapping and ROV systems in preparation for the 2019 field season. The expedition will commence on May 12, 2019 in Pascagoula, Mississippi (30° 20.355'N, 88° 34.499'W) and conclude on May 24, 2019 in Key West, Florida (24° 33.304'N, 81° 46.799'W). Operations are planned in the northeastern Gulf of Mexico along the edge of the west Florida escarpment and off the coast of Key West, FL. ; Shakedown of ROV equipment will include a calibration of the ultra short baseline (USBL) positioning system, testing of a new suction sampler device, and three ROV engineering dives. Mapping shakedown will focus on calibrating the EM302 multibeam sonar (including backscatter calibration), calibrating the EK60/EK80 sonars, installing and testing the new Kongsberg K-Sync device, and troubleshooting the UnderwayCTD (UCTD) with the manufacturer’s representative. Some testing may also be completed on the ship’s dynamic positioning (DP) system. This expedition will be divided into 3 transit legs: May 12 - May 18, May 18 - May 22, and May 22 -May 24 (separated by small boat transfers). The first small boat transfer is needed to transfer off ROV Team members and to transfer on mission personnel needed to support EK60/EK80 calibration and Kongsberg equipment testing. The second small boat transfer is needed to drop off the Kongsberg technician and pick up a Teledyne technician.
