<p>Dear Platform Group,<br /><br />The call sign for the vessel NORVEGIA from NORWAY is incorrect. Corrected information has been supplied by Øyvin<br />Strand.<br /><br />NODC will need to delete call sign "IQDR".<br /><br />Code : 58NO<br />Name : NORVEGIA<br />Flag : NORWAY - NO (ISO Country Code)<br />Platform Class : Research vessel<br />Commissioned Date : 1927<br />Decommissioned Date : 1931<br />Built : 1919<br />Notes : Antarctic expeditions 1927-31<br />Notes: Previous Name : VESLEPER<br />Information Source : http://www.lardex.net/thor-dahl/skip/skipstekst/1927_norvegia.htm (URL)<br /><br /><b>General Comments:</b><br />58NO is an old NODC-code. It exists in lists dating from the 1960s/70s, as identification for ”Norvegia” of the Antarctic expeditions 1927-31, http://www.lardex.net/thor-dahl/skip/skipstekst/1927_norvegia.htm. The Italian call sign must be a mistake. The ship’s diary of the 1930-31 expedition exists at IMR, and lists the call sign as MTGL. This archaic call sign is no longer a part of the Norwegian CS series.<br />(added by: Oyvin Strand - 23/03/2010 00:00:00)<br /><br />This ship was added circa late 1993 without the call sign. In Lloyds it is listed as the Italian Norvegia with call sign IQBR, see http://www.lloydsmiu.com/lmiu/vessels/overview.htm?vesselID=334627.<br /><br />Queried Oyvin Strand: could this possibly be the TOR NORVEGIA or the NAVION NORVEGIA? Another possibility is that 58NO refers to the old Norvegia which was active in the 1930's in Antartica. <br />(added by: Marilynn Sorensen - 22/03/2010 00:00:00)<br /><br /><br />Kind regards,<br />The ICES Data Centre<br /><br />International Council for the Exploration of the Sea <br />Email: accessions@ices.dk<br />Web: http://www.ices.dk<br /><br />Tel: +45 3338 6718 Fax: +45 3393 4215<br />H.C.
