Cruise Planning Questionnaire
The cruise planning questionnaire begins the process of cruise planning. It is used to ensure that the scientific equipment you need for your cruise is aboard and functioning properly and also to communicate your cruise plan to the ship. It is important to note any equipment that you need, if it is not listed it can be taken offline for maintenance or calibration without notification.
The Questionnaire is a one-time submission. It is used to create the Cruise Synopsis in which all additional information with be added.
