General arrangement 
On standard day trips, the maximum number of science/engineering crew is 10. The number of crew and pilots or AUV technicians will vary depending on the mission. Generally there will be five ship’s crew. Two ROV pilots will be onboard for ROV dives and/or two AUV technicians for AUV missions. For CTD missions a CTD technician will be required.
On overnight trips, the total number of passengers and crew must equal 12. Usually 5 crew members will be required, leaving 7 available bunks for ROV pilots, AUV technicians and scientists/engineers.
