8. The vessel must have a lifting crane (hydraulics) with skilled and experienced operator to lower and raise equipment from shore to the main deck of the vessel to transfer small skiffs on/off of vessel and to safely deploy an oceanographic mooring and zooplankton sampling nets. Additionally, to enhance efficient and safe transfer of personnel and equipment, a section of the starboard or port side railing should be able to be removed and replaced with a latched gate.

9. Vessel must have a crane or A-frame that can easily lift a railroad wheel anchor (~750 lbs static load); safe working load on the lifting device should be at least 4,000 pounds for deployment of oceanographic mooring and zooplankton nets.
