January 21, 2016 by Marine Directorate Communications No Comments | Category Compliance, Marine Directorate general, Marine Directorate Science, Research Vessel Surveys

Following a two-day delay in sailing, due to adverse weather on the east coast, Alba sailed early evening on Friday 8th January and made way in heavy seas for Mull. In the shelter from the strong NE winds TV work began along the south side of Mull on Monday 11th, and over the following four days continued in an anti-clockwise direction; mapping the extent of the uncharted muddy habitat between Mull, Colonsay and Jura, anchoring over-night in bays off these islands. On Friday the 15th Alba made way for Oban where a staff transfer was planned and provisions were taken onboard.
