The NSF-owned Research Vessel OCEANUS, operated under a charter party agreement by the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution, has operated continuously for 17 years. The average projected life of a research vessel is 30 years. This project will make major modifications and upgrades to the vessel to prepare her for the second half of her operational life. The viability of an oceanographic research vessel to conduct the changing needs of ocean science research diminishes with time. The modifications and upgrades will modernize the OCEANUS and equip her to be as effective and reliable as when she was originally delivered for service in 1975. The improvements focus on three major areas. Improvements to increase and enhance the ability of the ship to conduct ocean science research; upgrades to improve the day to day operation and maintainability of the ship; and refinements to improve the habitability of the ship. Attention to all these areas will result in a vessel well equipped to continue a long standing tradition of good service to the community of ocean science research.

NSF拥有的研究船Oceanus根据伍兹霍尔海洋学机构（Woods Hole Oceanographic）的宪章协议经营，一直在经营17年。 研究船的平均预计寿命为30年。 该项目将进行重大修改并升级到船只，以准备她的运营生活的后半部分。 海洋学研究船以进行不断变化的海洋科学研究需求的生存能力随着时间的流逝而减少。 修改和升级将使Oceanus现代化，并使她能够像最初在1975年提供服务一样有效和可靠。这些改进集中在三个主要领域。 改进并增强船舶进行海洋科学研究的能力；升级以改善日常运行和船舶的可维护性；和改进以提高船舶的可居住性。 对所有这些领域的关注将导致一艘能够良好的船只，以继续为海洋科学研究社区提供良好服务的长期传统。
