How do you actually get your instruments/AUVs & ROVs to remote ocean locations, what does it cost and how long does it take?
How do you currently get access to ocean locations for research?
I'm trying to understand how researchers handle vessel access, specifically for deploying instruments, equipment, or robots/autonomous vehicles at specific coordinates.
A few questions if you're willing:
What does vessel access currently cost you (time and money)?
Have you ever had to delay or drop research because of vessel access?
Have you ever deployed equipment from a non-research vessel (cargo ship, fishing boat, etc)?
If a third party handled the logistics of getting your instrument to a location, what would make you trust it or not?
Just trying to understand the problem before exploring a solution. Thanks
