Shared Equipment
UH Marine Center
The assets on the Shared Equipment List have been provided through funding from NSF and other U.S. Government agency grants to UH’s Ocean Technology Group (OTG). These items are made available to users in the UNOLS community without a user charge. All requests for use of these assets must be made to the Director of Marine Technical Services, who is responsible for scheduling requests for ship time and for the available shared-use equipment in conjunction with equipment custodians.
Principal Investigators requesting these assets must work closely with the Director and the appropriate custodians to completely define the equipment and schedule requirements during the proposal process and submission of ship time requests.

Requests for equipment will be prioritized on a first-come, first-served basis, and in the event of conflicts in equipment commitments, priority will be given to projects using the assets aboard the Kilo Moana. Reasonable efforts will be made to secure alternate arrangements for similar assets with other institutions if a commitment conflict arises, although loans of this nature frequently incur additional charges.
The equipment is generally provided without charge to the user but the user is always responsible for consumable supplies charges and certain other expenses related to using the equipment. Investigators borrowing equipment are expected to return it in the same or better condition. If repairs or recalibration are necessary, the borrower is responsible for the costs. In summary, the user who loses or damages an item must be prepared to pay for its replacement or repair and may need to consider insuring the equipment against loss.
