Each year a broad range of organisations use the The R.V. Celtic Voyager and The R.V. Celtic Explorer for research, development and monitoring & training programmes. These include government departments and agencies, universities, research institutes and industry.
The Marine Institute invites calls for ship-time between August and October each year for the following year's schedule. Applicants must apply for ship-time using the online Survey Planning System for which they must firstly obtain login details from RV Operations.
The 2010 call for ship-time is now closed, however the survey schedules CAN change during the year, therefore please contact RV Operations if you're interested in vessel charter, to check whether any survey slots remain or to be notified if any dates become available.
