Ship-Time Request Procedures

Although not technically UNOLS vessels, U.S. Coast Guard icebreakers utilize the UNOLS ship time request forms. Principal Investigators are encouraged to submit a form as early as possible in the planning process. Forms can be downloaded at:

  • The UNOLS Shiptime Request Form

    An initial scheduling meeting is held in the fall of the prior year between the Coast Guard and all sponsoring agencies to discuss the feasibility of accomplishing the projects that have a funding commitment. The Coast Guard's primary input is ensuring that the desired projects are feasible purely from an operational standpoint.
