<p>Dear Platform Group,<br /><br />A request has come in for a new code for the vessel <a href='http://www.ices.dk/datacentre/requests/Default.aspx?id=9120' target='_blank'>Finnpolaris</a> from BAHAMAS. This code suggestion will need confirmation by NOAA.<br /><br /><HR /><br /><br />Proposed Code : BHFP<br />Name : <a href='http://www.ices.dk/datacentre/requests/Default.aspx?id=9120' target='_blank'>Finnpolaris</a><br />Flag : BAHAMAS - BS (ISO Country Code)<br />Call Sign : C6CD9<br />Platform Class : Ship<br />IMO : 7415723<br />Commissioned Date : 1987<br />Decommissioned Date : 1990<br />Current Length : 160<br />Built : 1981<br />Notes : Ice class. Date for this ship registering under Bahaman flag is uncertain. Antarctic expeditions under Finnish flag. Sank in 1990<br /><br /><b>Additional Information Sources:</b><br /><br /> - http://www.shipspotting.com/gallery/photo.php?lid=202656<br /><br /><b>Same Vessels Info:</b><br /><b>34FR</b> - Finnpolaris<br /><HR /><br /><b>General Comments:</b><br /><br />From Alexandra.Grodsky@noaa.gov This ship code was requested by Gatfri Trumen of OC5 in February 2011. But he has retired since then. I checked that data for this requested code was never entered in the Database. I don't know which particular data Gatfri was going to enter. Meanwhile, some information about this ship is available on the net. In 1883-84 this ship participated in the Indian Antarctic Expedition. On the web page of Indian antarctic expeditions it is listed as Finnish ship: http://dspace.ncaor.org:8080/dspace/bitstream/123456789/681/1/V3+T+ALBUM.pdf I found this ship in the Lloyd's book (84-5): IMO 7415723; Flag: Finland. It is also seen on page 28 (see ship image) of report available at http://dspace.ncaor.org:8080/dspace/bitstream/123456789/681/1/V3+T+ALBUM.pdf Home port displayed on the back of FINNPOLARIS is Helsinki. Somewhen between 1984 and 1989 the flag of FINNPOLARIS was changed. It is listed as Bahamas ship in the Lloyd's Register 1989-90.
