R/V Agassiz
Reservations
Updated February 22, 2005
-
Michigan Tech faculty and staff may reserve the
Agassiz via the calendar on this web site. Off campus users
should contact Dr. Marty Auer for details.
-
Fixed-date reservations will be scheduled for only
three days of each operational week (Sunday through Saturday) to insure
that user needs will be met. Users may request standby reservations
for the balance of the week. These will honored if and when fixed-date
reservations are satisfied.
-
A confirmed fixed-date reservation commits the
user to paying for the fixed-cost portion of that reservation. In
the event of cancellation, every effort will be made to accommodate
the user’s desires in re-scheduling.
-
The 2005 fixed-cost use rate is $232 per half day
(up to 4 hours), $427 per day (up to 8 hours) and $49 per hour beyond
8 hours. Captain's fees are $36 per hour. Fuel charges are estimated
to range from $17 per hour for sampling-intensive use to $34 per hour
for running-intensive use. Typical 4 and 8 hour cruises are expected
to cost $478 and $919, respectively.
-
In the event of scheduling conflicts, priority
for use is as follows: fixed date classes > research > flexible
date classes > other MTU use > off-campus users.
- Users are asked to work together to resolve scheduling conflicts arising
from unmanageable circumstances, e.g. equipment, personnel, vessel,
or weather problems. In the event that conflicts cannot be resolved
by users, final decisions will be made by the Vessel Oversight Committee
Co-Chairs (see Contacts).
