Periodically, she requires extra attention to maintain her operational status. We are currently without a key operational asset.

Having the vessel in a �no sail� status severely challenges our ability to react to emergency situations. The NOAA Chesapeake Bay Office (NCBO) operates a 41-foot research vessel, R/V Bay Commitment. The R/V Bay Commitment was pulled out of the water for her biennial inspection of the shafts and replacement of cutlass bearings when the maintenance team identified a severely corroded shaft log, the �pipe� the shaft passes through. The corrosion was severe enough to warrant placing the vessel into a �no sail� status until which time the issue can be resolved.
