All American Marine Launches New Research Vessel for NOAA
is a covered flybridge on the upper deck, allowing vessel operations from a higher elevation while conducting research missions. The top deck also features an InterOcean conduction wire winch, a hauling winch and a Morgan 300.4 crane. The main deck features an adjustable A-Frame for launching scientific equipment. Additional features of the research vessel include both a wet laboratory for examining specimens and a dry laboratory for processing data. On board the vessel’s main deck is a fully equipped galley and comfortable dinette with a settee/bunk, kitchenette and wet head.Ron Wille, All American
Markey Wins Deal to Refurbish Winches for NOAA Research Vessel
feet long and displaces more than 3,200 tons, making it the largest ship in the NOAA fleet. The vessel is equipped with a suite of instruments for collecting and assessing scientific data above and below the ocean surface. Onboard cranes and winches enable the vessel to support the use of heavy scientific equipment such as submersibles and surface floats

;s Rubenstein School of Environment & Natural Resources. These functions include low emissions, low fuel burn rates, a stable and safe platform for research, high maneuverability, and the ability to tow trawls sleds, and plankton nets. The vessel will also facilitate the launch and recovery of scientific equipment, small remotely operated vehicles (ROVs) and sediment sampling devices.The Marcelle Melosira is equipped with a hybrid-electric power and propulsion system supplied and integrated by BAE Systems. The vessel is also equipped with dual control stations to maximize operability, and offers a large

with BV COMF 2 class notation but also with DNV SILENT-F standard). The dynamic positioning system and the electric bow thruster facilitate the maneuverability of the boat.It will have an oceanographic marine telescopic main crane at the stern for marine use designed to launch and to recover scientific equipment (corer, buoys, etc.) and general handling on the aft part of the vessel. In addition, she will have a type A stern gantry, a T-type lateral gantry and a telescopic rail beam for CTD maneuvering. For fishing operations, this boat will also have two trawling winches and a removable net drum

They will also have the ability to deploy crewed survey work boats, scientific equipment and uncrewed systems, which enhance the work the ship does.“This is another milestone in NOAA’s effort to recapitalize our aging fleet of ships,” said NOAA Corps Rear Adm.

West Africa’s Oceans at Risk Because of a Lack of Monitoring
adapt to the impacts of climate change on the region. This is thanks to an extensive network of state-of-the-art sensors and input from researchers from academia and the US government.This is not the case in West Africa. There is only a single mooring – these are long anchored lines of scientific equipment and floats which are deployed to collect a range of ocean data over long periods – managed by French researchers to monitor the impacts of climate change on the West African Canary Current.Communities are effectively left blind to the effects of climate change. So they can’t take

(UW Oceanography - University of Washington)“The Revelle belongs to a class of research vessels that can do things few other research ships can do,” said Stephen Kelety, marine superintendent at Scripps. “It can accommodate a large number of scientists and scientific equipment, operate in bad weather and high seas, and is adaptable to the research needs of the scientists onboard. It’s an important vessel for gathering scientific knowledge.” “The Tommy Thompson has a rich history of science and exploration, and now she’s better equipped
