Based on the study of the relative assessment reports and statistical data of University and National Oceanographic Laboratory System (UNOLS) fleet of the United States, coupled with the statistical data of 1,500-ton oceanographic research vessels of China, this paper constructs a linear relationship model between the average daily operating cost of oceanographic research vessels and the number of days of use of such vessels, and proposes concrete methods of applying the research results of the average daily operating cost of oceanographic research vessels to technical and economic validation and fleet management.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
