FFAW is accepting applications for a vessel charter to participate in a Shrimp Seismic study in Shrimp Fishing Area 7. The charter will involve towing a Campelen 900 trawl. The vessel will serve as platform for deployment and retrieval of deep water camera system, CTD, various bottom-mounted instruments including Acoustic Doppler Current Profilers and an Acoustic Zooplankton and Fish Profiler – bottom mounted moorings will use 200-400 lb anchors.

The chartered vessel will also have to be able to accommodate 7 (seven) additional personnel on board. These personnel will manage the scientific instruments.

To receive additional information or obtain an application please contact Johan Joensen at the FFAW at 576-7276. Application must be received no later than Monday, March 6th 2017 at 4:00 pm.
