Cruise Planning Form - Load Handling Equipment
This form must be completed (and supporting documentation provided) anytime load handling equipment (winches, wire, blocks, terminations, LARSs, etc.) is brought aboard R/V Falkor (too).  Forms are due five months prior to departure.

Please fill out one form for each component of your load handling system (i.e. fill out this form four times if you have a winch, a wire, a termination and an over-boarding block).  

Please review SOI's Load Handling Equipment policies and contact the Science Systems Senior Manager, Stian Alesandrini (salesandrini@schmidtocean.org), with any questions.
