| Cruise Info. | |
| Ship name | British Enterprise IV |
| Cruise identifier | 84:BE:0B Leg1 |
| Cruise period | 1984-08-01 — 1984-08-15 |
| Status | Completed |
| Port of departure | Leith, United Kingdom |
| Port of return | Scrabster, United Kingdom |
| Purpose | Research |
| Objectives | BGS charter - Routine sampling
The majority of the first leg was involved in mobilisation at Leith, and shakedown of the vessel as was anticipated. Consequently it was only the latter part of the leg that sampling within the survey area on the Sutherland Sheet was accomplished, and this was of insufficient duration to fully assess the potential of the vessel. It is hoped that the second leg will see the ship in a fully routine operational mode when ship and equipment can be properly evaluated in terms of the geological endjoint. |
