TEAM
Who we are, what
we do, how to reach us:
Of necessity this is an industrious, multi-talented, resourceful group with
a collective 'anything is possible' approach.All have proved themselves
able to maintain their perspective and a sense of humour under the often
demanding conditions of work at sea. While this is an assemblage of independent
contractors they must and do function as the ROPOS team. Expertise is exchanged
readily and cross-training is mandatory. Through their individual and combined
efforts they have gained the respect of scientists, commercial customers
and ships' crew alike.
