Commissioning of EIVA ScanFish on the Algoa Voyage 298, January 2024

In November 2018, the EIVA ScanFish III undulator and winch system was acquired, equipped with multiple physical and chemical sensors for real-time data collection. Initial commissioning and training trials were conducted aboard Algoa in December 2018 (ALG256). However, due to instrument damage, these trials were not fully completed. After repairs, additional commissioning trials were carried out during Algoa Voyage 298 in January 2024 to ensure full functionality and operational reliability of the system.
