Retirement of the Pacific Celebes


Early Wednesday Jon Campbell and Mark Hartman were heading towards Heathrow and then onto Melbourne Australia - their job being to decommission the SNOMS system on the Pacific Celebes. The Celebes, which has been such an excellent platform for the work of the SNOMS project has one more port call in Brisbane before she heads for a breakers yard in China. 

More details of our farewell to follow.

The SNOMS system will be shipped to Dalhousie University in Canada, where we will carry out tests on the system comparing the present senor performance with new ones from ProOceanus and Satlantic. The tests will be based at Dal's Aquatron Laboratories (www.aquatron.dal.ca).
