DECK OPERATIONS

Due to the large volume and quantity of materials to be operated on the deck, including the seismic array, the streamer's winch, and the spare sections for the streamer, we would recommend that the ship had some more space available. This in the case of operations with longer streamers, e.g. 96 channels, 2400 m, and to make available the deployment of another string of 2 guns. IGM should provide a different way of deploying and recovering the seismic array, to make it more reliable and secure during poor weather conditions. A more specific document with some suggestions will follow. It was demonstrated, however, that the ship is capable to make heavy seismic cruises.
