  1. Ferdinand R. Hassler2013 Field Season LCDR Marc S. Moser, NOAA

  2. February-April: Shipyard Repairs • July: OPR-D304-FH-13 • Congressional visit to MOC-A and ship tour • August: OPR-A321-FH-13 • Arrived Home Port • New Castle open house for locals • September: OPR-A321-FH-13 • AUV testing, • Welcome Hassler event part of UNH Ocean Discovery Day • York Middle School tour • October: Shutdown, OPR-B310-FH-13 • November: OPR-B310-FH-13 • December: Processing surveys • Change of Command

  3. Mission Successes/Challenges • SCS system largely non-functional • Ship day rate reduced in FY14 • Failing SV70 surface sound speed sensors • Still finding optimum operational tempo with ship complement • Loss of NMFS PFDs due to slip in shipyard contract • Handling fishing gear claims • Absence of survey launch • Successful development of AUV operational procedures • Shore support for 4G implementation • Initial remote data processing testing done alongside

  4. Administrative Successes/Challenges • Staffing • Short licensed engineers. Although MOC Crew helped the ship, they also took engineers to staff other ships. Made maintenance difficult. • Inability to reliably schedule and staff Augmented Repair Periods. • ET and IT support • Limited printing/scanning capability • OMAO 4G internet access now working after six months • Procurement • Got though critical replacement MVP part procurement • Limited capacity for ship and Marine Engineering purchases • Delayed Winter Repair Period projects • Personnel Work Rule Ambiguity • Having Deck personnel be a ‘roving look-out’ during the day and performing maintenance duties

  5. Engineering Successes /Challenges • Long list of outstanding projects (61 and counting) • Shipyard delays resulting in unexecuted DAS early in 2013 • Unexecuted repair projects for 2013/2014 Winter Repair period • Challenges of MO-E assuming ABS and COI roles from PAD • New launch contract execution

  6. OPR-D304-FH-13Approaches to Chesapeake Bay, VA • 11 DAS • 21 SNM • 739 LNM

  7. OPR-A321-FH-13Approaches to Portsmouth, NH • 22 DAS (inc. OMAO AUV DAS) • 166 SNM • 1670 LNM • AUV Testing

  8. OPR-B310-FH-13Approaches to New York, NY (Sandy PFDs) • 22 DAS (30 DAS planned) • 136 SNM • 2267 LNM

  9. Statistics • CY13: 72 DAS (12 OMAO, 60 NOS) • Utilization Rate: ~82% (50% OMAO, 90% NOS) by DAS • Weather days: None • Mechanical breakdown: 105 hrs or 8% planned hrs • Staffing: 289 hrs or 23% planned hrs • 70% of surveys turned into OCS • Survey • Sheets: 10 • SNM: 324 • LNM: 5318

  10. Looking ahead • Buoyancy appendage fastener redesign and installation – February or March? • Outstanding Winter Repair items • ABS/COI documentation • Outstanding COI repairs (from 2013 inspection) • Outstanding documentation (DVTP/PSTP) • Restarting COI process after IAA signed • Reinstate class (currently class suspended) • Three remaining survey sheets aboard • Remote processing – OCS PS support • Outfitting new survey launch for mission • Transition to day-working engineering department • Manning challenges and possible solutions
