| Rates for the R/V ELAKHA are on an hourly basis: | |
(Effective July 1st 2008) |
|
| For both internal and external users: $195 (Crew of Captain and Deckhand) $165 (Captain only) |
|
| Please note that both a Captain and Deckhand will be onboard if available. If we are unable to place a deckhand onboard for a particular cruise the rate will be at the "Captain only" rate. | |
| The above rates are for underway time and include, at no additional charge, 1 hour total of loading and unloading time where the operator will be present. If additional time is required (e.g., crane operation, major cleanup after coring operations, etc.) it will be billed at $40/hour. If the operator is required to run the winch and A-frame for alongside testing or similar work, the full hourly rate will be charged. | |
| Cruises in excess of 12 hours will require a second Captain onboard the vessel and additional charges will be incurred. Unusual cases (e.g., operations away from Newport) will be dealt with on an individual basis and additional charges may be incurred to cover the actual expenses of operating the vessel. Any equipment lost or broken by the science party will be charged at replacement cost. | |
