[Exports_project_office] Underway system pumping on Scripps vessels for EXPORTS

[Emmanuel Boss]

The Atlantis has no moon pool.
They installed two different pumps for us (they asked us to swap out the
first as it used too much air pressure).
It will be nice if the Scripps people communicated with them on what is
involved. We would like to install the same pump that we installed (and
left for the time being) on the Atlantis. Using the impeller pump is not an
option.
Best,
  Emmanuel
