<p>Dear Platform Group,<br /><br />To align with NOAA, the code 3206 for vessel NATHANIEL B.PALMER from UNITED STATES will receive a call sign update without receiving a new code. If anyone objects, please respond by 15 Aug. <br /><br />Code : 3206<br />Name : NATHANIEL B. PALMER<br />Flag : UNITED STATES - US (ISO Country Code)<br />Call Sign : WBP3210<br />Platform Class : Research vessel<br />IMO : 9007257<br />Commissioned Date : 1992<br />Current Length : 91<br />Built : 1992-03<br />Notes : Data at OCL 1992-2003 with note on previous call sign KUS1475<br />Lloyds URL : http://www.seasearcher.com/lmiu/vessels/overview.htm?vesselID=241527<br /><br /><b>General Comments:</b><br />Call sign change not documented in Lloyds.
