Abstract
The Maritime Administration´s Ships of Opportunity Program attempts to support the ocean science and technology research requirements of the maritime industry and of Federal agencies where such agencies are in need of more ships and technicians to fulfill their ocean science data collection missions. Two initial programs are discussed in this paper: (1) the MarAd/National Marine Fisheries Service Expendable Bathythermograph Program; and (2) the MarAd/Sea Use Council Program to develop North Pacific Wave Spectra, Rational Ship Structural Design Criteria and Utilization of the Cobb Seamount.
