Loading will take place at B.A.E. Shipyard in San Diego Ca. NEW 3/11:  MAY 5 will drop IMET tower for Jeff Hare to set up instrumentation. May 6 - 7: Load 02 dk fwd framing system, tower and 02 dk vans and 01 deck vans. POWER and ETHERNET WILL BE NEEDED BY MAY 7th to 02 and 01 dk vans May 6-11: Science may work on vans on the 02 deck.  But they should understand that the ships crew will not be able to help them during this time.  A SSSG Tech will be made available for assistance. LIMITED ACCESS. May 11-13: complete full Mobilization and set up;  loading remaining vans, cylinders and other equipment.  San Francisco: Pier location: PIER 27 NEW 3/12: Science will need 2 full days to break down equipment and get ready for off load. Request for the shore crane to be ordered for June 10th.
Atlantis will need to off load all ships vans EXCEPT CHEM VAN, prior to May 6th load date.  Those vans will be stored at west coast van pool lot, then will be trucked to San Fran in time for Mobilzation around June 11-12th.  Also WHOI vans will need "D.O.T." inspections before being trucked.  Eric B and Chris G will work on this. PLEASE READ "Calnex Goals and Sampling Plan" for cruise plan information and more deck plans.  This can be found in "supporting documentaion near top of synopsis".
