This report collates information from the BODC cruise inventory and oceanographic databases. It presents

Cruise Inventory Information

Long name RV Prince Madog (74P2) cruise PD25/05
Short name PD25/05
Objectives and Narrative 1. To service an ADCP mooring and a Smartbuoy at 53 32N 3 22W.
2. To service an ADCP mooring and a Smartbuoy at 53 27N 3 39W.
