[Platforms] SEDCO/BP 471 - JOIDES Resolution - Resolution

[Marilynn Sørensen]

Hi all,

 

There are data stating "RESOLUTION" from before the JOIDES Resolution was built as the SEDCO/BP 471 (See US RESOLUTION email). If the JOIDES Resolution is 32RS then there is another "Resolution" that needs a code. See the US RESOLUTION email sent today. 

 

The JOIDES Resolution is still active but she was rebuilt (again) not too long ago and changed vessel type. This may mean a new code is needed but more information is needed.

 

There are 2 sources which state that the name changed to JOIDES Resolution in 1996. I will make further enquiries.

 

If anyone has documentation it would be much appreciated.

 

Cheers,

Marilynn

Hi Marilynn,

 

This isn't making total sense to me.  

 

When did SEDCO/BP 471 get renamed to JOIDES resolution?  My understanding from the IODP site is that it was when she got converted to science in 1985. If so, SEDCO/BP 471 sould have a decommissioned date of January 1985.

 

Now we come to JOIDES Resolution.  Is this the US-flagged Resolution (32RS)? Or do we need a new code?  If somebody has ROSCOPS for 32RS, it should be easy to determine as JOIDES Resolution cruises have a fairly unique activity pattern (depp-sea drilling). Whatever the decision she should have a commissioned date of January 1985 and as fas as I can see she's still active (http://joidesresolution.org/blog), wherease the notes indicate activity ceased in 2003.

 

JOIDES Resolution is a very important ship to science so we need to get this sorted.

 

Cheers, Roy.
