	Research vessel - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Fisheries research vessels are often designed and built along the same lines as a large fishing vessel, but with space given over to laboratories and equipment storage, as opposed to storage of the catch.
		Hydrographic survey vessels are used to conduct hydrographic and seismic surveys of the seabed and the underlying geology.
		These vessels usually mount equipment on a towed structure, for example, air-cannons, used to generate a high pressure shock wave to sound the strata beneath the seabed, or mounted on the keel, for example, a depth sounder.

	Research Vessel Safety Standards - Revised March 2003 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-19)
		Recognizing that research vessels and ocean research in general should be in the forefront of contributing to maritime safety, research vessels should take every opportunity to participate in innovative research, procedures, and equipment operation evaluations which would enhance the practice of safety at sea.
		RESEARCH CRUISE: Cruise by vessel primarily for the purpose of conducting marine research at sea. It is commonly defined as commencing on the day of departure, and terminating on the day of return to a port.
		Masters of all oceanographic vessels have the responsibility for maintaining the watertight integrity of these vessels. This responsibility involves the careful maintenance of all watertight closures and associated systems and the assurance that their functions, operation and status in various normal and emergency conditions are clearly understood by members of the crew and science party.

	Center for Whale Research
		Acoustic recordings will be made during vessel surveys and from hydrophones linked to the research facility for correlation with behavior, and for inclusion in the database of a concurrent study on acoustics of killer whales.
		Research vessel operations will take place as often as possible, and all volunteer will be able to participate.
		During times when research vessels are not in operation, volunteer will participate in identifying individual whales from photographs, entering data into the computers, routine maintenance of the vessels and equipment, and visual and acoustic watches at the research facility.

	Science Mission Requirements (SMR) Regional Class Research Vessel
		By taking advantage of experience with past research vessel design, innovative new design approaches, modern equipment and technology, and the wisdom of experienced user and operator input to the design process, these vessels should be designed to effectively meet the needs of marine science and education for the next three decades.
		A major benefit of this class of vessel should continue to be the ability to accomplish a significant portion of the nation’s research requirements while using a relatively smaller portion of the total marine science and ship operation budgets.
		On this class of vessel, the additional lab space may need to be provided in well designed and integrated laboratory vans in order to provide the flexibility in the amount of lab versus deck space available.

	Herring Research - Introduction to Acoustics
		One of the Gulf of Maine herring research priorities identified by the GMA-led forum of industry, research and management representatives was the need to develop a means of monitoring and assessing spawning stocks in the Gulf of Maine.
		In fisheries-dependent surveys, the vessel course is chosen by the captain to increase the likelihood of encountering fish.
		As a fishing or research vessel logging acoustic data moves through the water, location information is matched to vertical acoustic snapshots of the water column every second.

	University of Delaware lays keel for new research vessel
		In other research, UD scientists are using the ship to examine the water quality of the Delaware Bay, to research how sediments are transported through the system, and to learn if naturally occurring microbes in the estuary can degrade toxic contaminants.
		Once the vessel is completed in the autumn of 2005, it will be delivered to the East Coast aboard a larger commercial ship equipped with cradles for transporting other vessels to ports afar.
		The new research vessel will operate primarily in the Mid-Atlantic region, including the Delaware and Chesapeake bays, with occasional research missions as far north as the Gulf of Maine, as far south as Florida, and as far east as Bermuda.

	RESEARCH VESSEL SURVEYS (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-19)
		Sampling the abundance of harvestable sizes from research vessel surveys may be the only source of data available for species that have never been fished in the past, or are only fished at very low levels.
		All research vessel surveys conducted by the Northeast Fisheries Science Center collect and archive an extensive array of environmental measurements, and usually have a 'shopping list' of duties to be accomplished for researchers in academic institutions, other government agencies, and the private sector.
		The interpretation of the data is complicated by the range and bearing of the sighting from the vessel trackline, and the fact that the probability of sighting a mammal falls off with the distance from the vessel.

	NOAA Ocean Explorer: Vessels: Kilo
		As with most other research vessels in the academic fleet, it was sponsored by the U.S. Navy.
		However, this is the first oceanographic research vessel procured using integrated product teams that included government, industry, and operator representatives working in a collaborative process from concept design through detailed design and construction.
		Since only a minimum amount of the vessel is exposed to the lifting forces of the waves, it is inhibited from rolling from side to side.

	Lessons Learned for New Research Vessel Design and Construction
		I would recommend any new vessel hydrobooms and/or A-frames or J-frames to have attachment points for more than one type/size of block, so that changing from a ctd wire to a 1/4 hydro wire, to a trawl wire could be done at sea, quickly and safely.
		This is especially true with vessels built under naval contracts where the thinking is that there will be several watch standers and the equipment is scattered all over the bridge.
		The same applies to the number of vans a vessel caries, the weight its cranes, winches, frames can lift or support, type of electirical power, what science equipment it carries and supports, maximum number of scientist it carries, de-ionization method and capacity for water to support science.
