Procedure
The Unity will sail from Fraserburgh to the East of Shetland mooring positions. On arrival at the East of Shetland mooring positions, (60° 18.65'N 000° 42.16'W, 60° 10.00'N 000° 09.97'W) recovery will be made. 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).
(NOTE: The survey will take Unity into the Foinaven Development Area. This is now standard practice, and normal on-site communications will be established with the Foinaven co-ordinating officer).
Normal contacts will be maintained with the laboratory. |
