The Mooring Operations, Engineering and Field Support Group
maintains an extensive inventory of mooring components and equipment
available for loan to the scientific community. The fees associated with the loans are generally labor to prepare the equipment and, upon return of the equipment, maintenance and restoration to
its original condition. Any loaned
items that are damaged or not returned are replaced at the expense of the borrower. Due to the high loan demand, it is advisable
to make loan requests as far in advance as possible to avoid scheduling
conflicts.
