Hydrowire on winch deck for deploying plankton nets
Clean Kevlar and block for starboard Aframe, plus weight.
‘Split –drum’ option for either stern or starboard A-frame (as required; do not anticipate
loads above 100 kg).
Data Policy:
 All data (primary and any processed) are to be provided to the Chief Scientist(s) and
no other person. Any subsequent distribution will be at the discretion of the Chief
scientist.
 Request CTD log sheets to be provided to chief scientist at end of cruise with data
disks.
 Chief scientist will make a copy of the bridge ‘Science Log’
