Drill ships providing deeper penetration are expensive and typically booked far in advance, if available at all; at the Marum Center for Marine Environmental Sciences (Marum) at the University of Bremen we developed the drill rig MeBo (Freudenthal and Wefer, 2006) that can be deployed from standard research vessels
A launch and recovery system that was developed for the deployment of the MeBo from the German research vessel Meteor can be adapted to the deck configuration of other vessels
Summary
In March 2007 the sea floor drill rig MeBo (short for “Meeresboden-Bohrgerät”, ‘sea floor drill rig’ in German) returned from a 17-day scientific cruise with the new German research vessel Maria S. Drill ships providing deeper penetration are expensive and typically booked far in advance, if available at all; at the Marum Center for Marine Environmental Sciences (Marum) at the University of Bremen we developed the drill rig MeBo (Freudenthal and Wefer, 2006) that can be deployed from standard research vessels. The MeBo stores drilling rods, casing tubes, and pushcoring and rotary barrels on two rotating magazines that
