Abstract | The Gough Island Relief Voyage is an annual cruise undertaken by the Department of Environmental Affairs (DEA) to change the overwintering team in Gough Island and to replenish the supplies at the British’s leased Gough Island Research base. The cruise also serves as a means to transport the residents and/or visitors to Tristan da Cunha using a signed agreement between South Africa and United Kingdom (UK). This voyage was to deliver the Gough 62 team to the island and return with the Gough 61 team. The cruise was undertaken between 01 September 2016 and 06 October 2016. There was no scientific team onboard this voyage, however the Chief Navigations officer activated the ship mounted ADCP along the journey. |
