MOC meeting, 12 JAN 1982, Loren Haury
Scripps Marine Operations Committee
Scripps is committed to operating safe, capable and efficient oceanographic research vessels. The importance of, and commitment to, research vessel operations at Scripps is reflected in the significant advisory role played by ship users through the SIO Marine Operations Committee (MOC).
The MOC is a standing committee at Scripps that serves as an advisory board for the Scripps Ship Operations and Marine Technical Support (SOMTS) department.
The charge of the Committee is specified in Article X of the Scripps Staff Council By-Laws:
This committee recommends to the Director, SIO, policy concerning all facets of marine operations dealing with ships, platforms, Nimitz Marine Facility, and marine technical groups. Specific tasks can include, but are not limited to acquisition, utilization, upkeep and disposal of ships and ships’ equipment, ship scheduling, matters related to safety aboard SIO ships and the distribution of UC ship funds.
MOC members are appointed by the SIO Director to serve one-year terms. The committee meets regularly (on the second Tuesday of each month).
The Committee typically includes about 20 Scripps faculty, researchers, staff and students that are active users of research vessels. MOC also has one member each from UC Santa Barbara and UC Santa Cruz, who represent the interests of those campuses in oceanographic facilities that Scripps operates on behalf of the University of California.
MOC ex officio members include the SIO Associate Director, SOMTS Marine Superintendent, and SOMTS Marine Technical Manager.
At each meeting, the committee is briefed by SOMTS managers on the operating and technical activities aboard each SIO-operated vessel, and considers upcoming operations, scheduling, material modifactions and upgrades to ships, and any other issues that contribute to the ongoing improvement to SIO-operated research vessels.
The guidance and innovation provided by Scripps scientists via MOC has consistently improved the ability of Scripps vessels to support scientific activities.
