Description

Diligence, the correct and fully serviced equipment and experienced and capable personnel are the key ingredients for the success of these scientific projects to continuously core below the seabed. Whilst these criteria are applicable for most projects, they are essential for these projects that will have been in the proposal, development and schedule for at least 10 years. These projects only have one opportunity to achieve the scientific goals. With a fixed budget there is no opportunity to either extend or re-run the expedition at a later date. It is therefore paramount that diligence in all aspects of the project is undertaken from planning to implementation to maximise this once off opportunity
