Shiptime Request forms are submitted with proposals, and are awarded by a review committee. Special scheduling requests should be included in the proposal. Ship days are scheduled by DMO with every effort to meet the needs of each project. For further information on the proposal process, contact the PCO office . Please contact the Deputy Director or the Logistics Support Specialist for additional information regarding scheduling.
Postcruise reports are due within two weeks of either ship's return to shore.
Additional guests, and special guests such as media representatives, are by special arrangement with the Director of Marine Operations and the Captain. Please inform DMO of these requests prior to submitting a precruise. Please refer to the Science Party Size policy or contact the Logistics Support Specialist for details. Contact that person directly and ask permission. If agreeable, the Chief Scientist will then include you in the science party roster when they submit a precruise plan.
