Cruise planning involves bringing together diverse people and equipment for a scientific cruise. Here the ROV JASON is being loaded aboard the Research Vessel Knorr (Tom Kleindinst - WHOI)


Preparing for a seagoing expedition involves many months (often years) of planning. There are many forms and documents to prepare; there are many criteria to be met and logistical issues to sort out; there are even issues of personal preparation.
