<p>Dear Platform Group,<br /><br />NOAA/NODC has approved the code for the vessel Scampi from FRANCE<br /><br /><b>Original Requester : Michele Fichaut (Michele.Fichaut@ifremer.fr)</b><br /><br />Approved Code : 35RW<br />Name : Scampi<br />Flag : FRANCE - FR (ISO Country Code)<br />Platform Class : Towed unmanned submersible<br />Current Length : 2<br />Built : 1987<br />Notes : The Scampi, a towed fish for submarine photo and video shooting, is designed to operate between 5 and 10 m above the seabed and down to 6000 m depth. Power is supplied by accumulators to provide autonomy of more than 10 hours. The Scampi is made of: A metal frame (2 m x 0,8 m x 1,2 m) supporting an ICCD video camera,Projectors, An 800-shot photographic camera and flash, An altimeter, The accumulators and associated electronic systems<br />Information Source : http://www.ifremer.fr/fleet/systemes_sm/remorques/scampi.htm (URL)<br /><br /><b>General Comments:</b><br />In response to Roy Lowry's query "Is Scampi one hull or a generic name applied to a class of hulls?"<br /><br />From Catherine BORREMANS [Catherine.Borremans@ifremer.fr] "I am working at Ifremer/Sismer with Michele and I am in charge of the submersible data archiving.<br /><br />The Scampi is well one unique hull (and not a generic name for a group of hulls). I think then that it doesn't break your definition of a platform code."<br /><br /><br />(added by: Marilynn Sorensen - 26/10/2010 00:00:00)<br /><br />Owner : IFREMER<br />(added by: Michele Fichaut - 21/10/2010 00:00:00)<br /><br /><br />Kind regards,<br />The ICES Data Centre<br /><br />International Council for the Exploration of the Sea <br />Email: accessions@ices.dk<br />Web: http://www.ices.dk<br /><br />Tel: +45 3338 6718 Fax: +45 3393 4215<br />H.C.
