UKRI is seeking to appoint a supplier for the supply of a scientific mooring hoist for the RRS Sir David Attenborough vessel at the British Antarctic Survey.
The SDA supports scientific moorings, thus NERC/BAS need the ability to deploy and recover scientific mooring from on board the RRS Sir David Attenborough (SDA).
To do so, a special purpose build scientific mooring winch is needed.
