연합인증

연합인증 가입 기관의 연구자들은 소속기관의 인증정보(ID와 암호)를 이용해 다른 대학, 연구기관, 서비스 공급자의 다양한 온라인 자원과 연구 데이터를 이용할 수 있습니다.

이는 여행자가 자국에서 발행 받은 여권으로 세계 각국을 자유롭게 여행할 수 있는 것과 같습니다.

연합인증으로 이용이 가능한 서비스는 NTIS, DataON, Edison, Kafe, Webinar 등이 있습니다.

한번의 인증절차만으로 연합인증 가입 서비스에 추가 로그인 없이 이용이 가능합니다.

다만, 연합인증을 위해서는 최초 1회만 인증 절차가 필요합니다. (회원이 아닐 경우 회원 가입이 필요합니다.)

연합인증 절차는 다음과 같습니다.

최초이용시에는
ScienceON에 로그인 → 연합인증 서비스 접속 → 로그인 (본인 확인 또는 회원가입) → 서비스 이용

그 이후에는
ScienceON 로그인 → 연합인증 서비스 접속 → 서비스 이용

연합인증을 활용하시면 KISTI가 제공하는 다양한 서비스를 편리하게 이용하실 수 있습니다.

A configuration for the deck of a marine vessel, wherein parallel and perpendicular travel paths, for movement of individual OBS unit storage baskets, are formed along a deck utilizing, in part, the storage baskets themselves. A portion of the deck is divided into a grid defined by a series of low-to-the-deck perpendicular and parallel rails and each square in the grid is configured to hold an OBS unit storage basket. Around the perimeter of the grid is an external containment wall which has a greater height than the rails. Storage baskets seated within the grid are configured to selectively form internal containment walls. Opposing internal and external containment walls define travel paths along which a storage basket can be moved utilizing a low, overhead gantry. A basket need only be lifted a minimal height above the deck in order to be moved along a path. The containment walls and the deck itself constraining uncontrolled swinging of baskets, even in onerous weather or sea conditions. The system is flexible to meet the needs of a desired operation since the internal walls of the grid can be reconfigured as desired in order to free up a particular storage basket or define a particular travel path.

What is claimed is: 1. A method of deploying OBS units from a marine vessel into the water, said method comprising the steps of: a. providing a plurality of containers arranged in a first storage location on the deck of said marine vessel; b. providing a plurality of OBS units in said plurality of containers disposed in said first storage location; c. providing an overhead gantry crane disposed on said deck; d. utilizing said overhead gantry crane to move one of said containers having said plurality of OBS units along a travel path from said first storage location on said deck to a second deployment location on said deck; e. providing an ROV adjacent said second deployment location, wherein said ROV is capable of carrying a plurality of OBS units; f. individually moving a plurality of OBS units from a position in said container to said ROV; and g. launching said ROV into the water. 2. The method of claim 1, wherein a first portion of said containers are arranged adjacent one another to form a first row and a second portion of said containers are arranged adjacent one another to form a second row perpendicular to said first row, wherein said OBS units are stacked in a plurality of levels in said storage containers; wherein said overhead gantry is configured for movement in a direction perpendicular and parallel to said rows of containers; wherein said container is lifted no more than six feet above the deck when it is moved from the first location to the second location. 3. The method of claim 1, wherein said containers are arranged adjacent one another in said first location to form a row of containers, wherein said OBS units are stacked in a plurality of levels in said storage containers; wherein said overhead gantry is configured for movement in a direction perpendicular and parallel to said rows of containers; wherein said container is lifted no more than six feet above the deck when it is moved from the first location to the second location. 4. The method of claim 3, further comprising the steps of: a. moving a container having a plurality of OBS units disposed therein to a third location on said deck; b. extracting data from a plurality of OBS units within said container at said third location; and c. moving said container back to the first storage location. 5. The method of claim 3, further comprising the steps of: a. moving a container having a plurality of OBS units disposed therein to a third location on said deck; b. charging batteries for a plurality of OBS units within said container at said third location; and c. moving said container back to the first storage location. 6. The method of claim 1, wherein the step of moving said container with said overhead gantry comprises lifting the container no more than 6 feet above the deck. 7. The method of claim 1, wherein the step of providing an overhead gantry crane comprises constraining said overhead gantry crane to linear movement over the top of said containers. 8. The method of claim 1, wherein the travel path is defined in part by a portion of said plurality of containers positioned on said deck in said first location. 9. The method of claim 8, wherein said travel path is selectively altered by altering the position of the portion of said plurality of containers on said deck. 10. A method of deploying OBS units from a marine vessel into the water, said method comprising the steps of: a. providing a plurality of containers arranged in a first storage location on the deck of said marine vessel; b. storing providing a plurality of OBS units in at least one of said plurality of containers disposed in said first storage location; c. providing an overhead gantry crane on said deck and constrained to linear movement over the top of said containers; d. defining a travel path on said deck extending from said first storage location on said deck to a second deployment location on said deck by providing containment structures on either side of at least a portion of said travel path; e. utilizing said overhead gantry crane to move said container containing said plurality of OBS units along said path from the first storage location to the second deployment location, wherein the container is lifted no more than 6 feet above the deck as it is moved along said path; f. providing an ROV adjacent said deployment position, wherein said ROV is capable of carrying a plurality of OBS units; g. individually extracting at least two OBS units from a position within said container and moving said OBS units to said ROV; and h. causing said ROV to be launched from the marine vessel into the water. 11. The method of claim 10, wherein the step of individually extracting at least two OBS units from a position within said container and moving said OBS units to said ROV is accomplished with a deployment arm positioned at said second deployment location. 12. The method of claim 10, wherein the container being moved by said overhead gantry crane is lifted no more than 3 feet above the deck as it is moved along said path. 13. The method of claim 10, wherein the container being moved by said overhead gantry crane is lifted no more than 1 foot above the deck as it is moved along said path.
