ObjectivesSBP Commissioning

The SBP120 fitted to RRS James Cook and Discovery will no longer be supported after 2021, therefore this system must be replaced with the latest SBP27 to ensure this capability is retained beyond 2021. 2 x SBP27 systems were purchased in 2018/19 to do this, but were not installed or commissioned due to programme availability. This purpose of this project is to install and commission the SBP27 to RRS James Cook.
