Charter oceanographic research vessel for AZMP fall survey in Gulf of St. Lawrence.
Fisheries and Oceans Canada (DFO) seeks to charter a non-CCG oceanographic research vessel with crew for the AZMP fall survey in the Estuary and Gulf of St. Lawrence. The survey monitors physical, chemical, and biological oceanographic properties (temperature, salinity, primary production) to understand and predict marine ecosystem changes. The charter is for a single mission in fall 2025. Bidders must provide a vessel equipped for oceanographic sampling and experienced crew. No specific certifications or set-asides are mentioned.
