SCOTT Home – After a relatively short deployment “East of Suez” the Survey Ship SCOTT has arrived “home” but during the three months away mapped the seabed of an area ‘three times the size of Devon.     The SCOTT sailed three days before Christmas 2012 and returned three days after Easter 2013 having spent the intervening period in the Red Sea and Gulf of Aden.    This was the first time in four years that the SCOTT had ventured East of Suez following two seasons acting as the Ice Patrol Ship in the Antarctic.   The SCOTT will now undergo a spell of maintenance on systems and machinery before deploying to the North Atlantic after a visit to the ship’s affiliated city of Swansea.
