OPERATIONS DESCRIPTION

x Observatory maintenance work to be carried out at one of 8 sites: o Saanich Inlet – Node site

o Strait of Georgia – Central Node site, East Node site, Delta Node site, DDL site o Juan de Fuca – JF2N mooring, JFCN mooring

x The primary work involves the recovery and deployment of seabed platforms of varying size

and weight with the assistance of an ROV.

x The ROV operation runs on a 12 hr per day schedule (approximately 730 am to 730 pm).

x Launch and Recovery of Oceanic Explorer ROV is conducted via the ship’s crane over the Starboard rail; umbilical passes through a sheave in the A-frame.

x The ROV navigation system utilizes a beacon on the end of the ship’s transducer pole;

generally this pole needs to be out of the water when transiting > 4 knots.

x Deployment of VENUS equipment is carried out using the work winch (Pad G), where the wire passes through a sheave/block hanging from the crane hook. Once on the seabed, the platform is freed from the wire through the use of an acoustic release.

x Equipment recoveries are carried out using VENUS supplied ropes (load certified), wound onto

a work winch overtop of the wire (Pad F or G). The rope is carried down to the target platform on a drum on the belly of the ROV. The ROV snaps a recovery hook into the platform lifting point, and then surfaces. The rope unspools as the ROV comes up. The rope is then transferred through the sheave/block hanging from the crane hook, to the work winch on Pad F/G.

x The NRCAN shipeks will be carried out on the Delta, using the winch on Pad F to lower and recover.

x The CTD/Rosette will be operated primarily during the evening/night, once ROV operations have wrapped up for the day. It will be manned by 2-3 ONC representatives.
