Dear Colleagues,
You are invited to review and make comments on the final concept design
for the Alaska Region Research Vessel (ARRV) that is available at the
following web site: http://www.unols.org/fic/#arrv
The summary report is available for viewing as an htm document or Power
Point.
Please send comments or questions to Terry Whitledge (terry [at] ims.uaf.edu)
at the University of Alaska Fairbanks.
The preliminary design phase and model testing for the ARRV has begun
with an expected completion by summer 2002. The preliminary design phase
is a critical step in determining the layout of the vessel and its
overall operating and scientific capabilities. We request your help in
making this the best vessel possible for science operations in the North
Pacific including the seasonally ice covered of the Arctic.
