Exp 310 – Mobilisation

Mission-specific platforms are especially chosen to fullfil particular scientific objectives. In many cases this requires modifications to get the most appropriate platform.
The chosen vessel is the DP Hunter and was mobilised in Tampa from 28 August to 6 September, 2005, in Tampa, FL, USA.
