Assignment and Operation of the Deep Ocean Research Ship AGOR 25
Abstract
AGOR 25, subsequently named R/V Atlantis, was constructed at the Shipyard of Halter Marine Inc. under the funding and direction of Program Executive Office Expeditionary Warfare (PMS 325), Department of the Navy. Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution (WHOI) was selected as the Charter party operator of the ship, by the owner, The Office of Naval Research (ONR). During the period January 25,1994 - May 31, 1998 WHOI provided on-site personnel and logistics and management support to PMS 325 during the construction phase. After delivery in March 1997 WHOI personnel undertook completion of the fitting out, and warranty trials during science programs at sea. Final contract trials and a two month Post shakedown Availability period provided opportunities to identify and correct material deficiencies on the Ship. Management responsibility for AGOR 25 was transferred to ONR at the end of the contract period on May 31, 1998. This report presents two summaries: (1) A summary of the installed Scientific Information System (SIS) Cable installation which was installed by WHOI throughout the ship subsequent to delivery; (2) R/V Atlantis Turnover Book which summarizes outstanding technical issues, trial cards, warranty items and post delivery work items yet to be accomplished at the end of the Contract period.
