The Unity will sail from Fraserburgh to the East of Shetland mooring positions.

On completion, passage will be made to the Faroe-Shetland Channel to deploy ADCP mooring NWSD (60° 26.95'N 004° 22.25'W). This will be followed by recovery, service and redeployment of ADCP moorings NWSD* (60 30.48'N 004 33.98'W); NWSE (60° 16.49'N 004° 19.99'W) and NWSF (60° 11.99'N 004° 00.06'W).
