| Objectives and Narrative |
Objectives
1. To participate in the ICES co-ordinated Western Division Demersal Trawling Survey. 2. To obtain temperature and salinity data at each trawling position. 3. To collect additional biological data in accordance with the EU Data Directive 1639/2001. 4. To identify and record all invertebrate species caught. 5. To undertake hydrodynamic performance trials of the new underwater video multiplexer Narrative Scotia sailed from Aberdeen at 1000hrs on 7 November and proceeded northwards toward the survey area. Whilst en-route, the opportunity was taken to deploy and check the operation of the trawl gear; in particular to measure the gear dimensions under strain. Fishing commenced the next day at 0630hrs at the station in rectangle 47E6. The medium term weather forecast was reasonable for this time of year and we took advantage of this to progress westward and southwards for the next eight days. The weather did not actually turn out to be as favourable as forecast, but fortunately not poor enough to bring trawling operations to a complete halt, allowing us to survey all the exposed stations to the west of the Hebrides. On the morning of Sunday 16 Scotia was located to the west of Ireland on the shelf edge at position 58deg 44min north 11deg 14min west. At 0700hrs on this morning, we were deploying the first trawl of the day when a member of the deck crew sustained a head injury as an indirect result of a winch malfunction. After the casualty had received appropriate first aid, he was then examined by Scotia's Captain and the decision was taken that the casualty should be put ashore for further medical treatment and evaluation. Scotia made best possible speed on a course for Galway bay to rendezvous with a lifeboat from the Irish Lifeboat Service. Scotia rendezvoused with the lifeboat at 1300hrs, where the casualty was transferred and taken ashore by the Irish Coastguard. At this time, advice was received from MVM and FRS and as a result, Scotia made passage to Belfast so that an engineer from 'Scantrol' could be expedited to the ship from Norway. Scotia docked alongside Belfast at 1600hrs on Monday 17. Due to these unforeseen circumstances, the cruise half landing was altered and took place on Tuesday 18 to allow the 'Scantrol' engineer to continue his investigations. Scotia sailed from Belfast at 0800hrs, with the 'Scantrol' engineer aboard to further scrutinize the winch systems whilst they were in operation and under strain. This was undertaken whilst surveying stations in the Clyde area. After successfully identifying a fault in the winch systems and resolving this to a level acceptable to enable continued operation, the 'Scantrol' engineer was transferred by small boat at Greenock. Stations to the west and north of Ireland were successfully covered over the next 3 days, until storm force 10 and violent storm force 11 winds forced Scotia to spend the whole of Sunday 23 dodging head to wind at the Stanton banks. Scotia resumed work the following morning and continued with little weather related difficulties up through the South and North Minch's, ending the survey along the north coast of Scotland. |
