<p style='margin-bottom:12.0pt'>Dear Platform Group,<br>
<br>
A request has come in for a code for the vessel Aspire from UNITED KINGDOM.
NODC has code 74KN. HOWEVER, Don, could you check the entry date to your
platform list and details of your 74KN to ensure that this is the same vessel?
See comments below for more details.<br>
<br>
<b>Original Requester : Roy Lowry (rkl@bodc.ac.uk)</b><br>
<br>
Proposed Code : 74KN<br>
Name : Aspire<br>
Flag : UNITED KINGDOM - GB (ISO Country Code)<br>
Call Sign : MEGH<br>
Title : MFV<br>
Platform Class : Fishing vessel<br>
Pennant : BF 234<br>
Commissioned Date : 1961<br>
Decommissioned Date : 2008<br>
Current Length : 16.31<br>
Built : 1961<br>
Notes : Fishing vessel chartered by the Aberdeen Marine Laboratory between 1987
and 1997. Sailed to Whitby and laid up in 2008.<br>
Information Source :

<br>
<b>General Comments:</b><br>
Is this the Aspire on NODC's list? 74KN without a call sign.<br>
Aspire is most likely 74KN since OCL's vessel has title MFV ftp://ftp.nodc.noaa.gov/pub/WOD/CODES/PDF/s_3_shipname.pdf<br>
<br>
http://www.worldfishingtoday.com/fishingboatinfo/default.asp?kutterId=7438&mode=kutter_3<br>
This site has built date 1973.<br>
