Abstract - W presente the shipboard activities and results of Cruise MS07 on R/V Urania . The cruise was scheduled as a mooring manintanance and deploy, alongwith XBT launches and CTD casts due to operational activities. During transits and operational 'stand-by' for deck operations, CHIRP SBP and multibeam profiles were performed. In particular the top of the Vavilov Seamount was mapped as an integration of the data collected by ISMAR Bologna during the 1996 and 1999 cruises.

Sommario - Vengono presentate le attivita' ed i risultati preliminari della crociera MS07 con R/V Urania , le cui attivita' principali previste erano la posa e la manutenzione di moorings e la esecuzione di lanci XBT e calate CTD. Durante i vari transiti e durante situazioni di 'stand-by' operativo sono stati eseguiti profili CHIRP SBP e 'multibeam'. In particolare, e' stata mappata la parte sommitale del Vulcano Vavilov in Centro Tirreno, a completamento di rilievi ISMAR Bologna 1996 e 1999.
