<p>Dear Platform Group,
<br />
<br />We have aligned with NOAA for this vessel. 74TH has been assigned, the previously suggested 74 code has been rejected and the NOAA information has been corrected by the addition of the Singapore code (see previous email). NOAA has approved the code for the vessel <a href='http://admin.ices.dk/requests/Default.aspx?id=9399' target='_blank'>Safmarine Meru</a> from UNITED KINGDOM.

<br />Deleted proposed code and added 74TH. Waiting for Don to create Singapore flag for this ship before I send out 74TH code.

<br />US NODC is using code 74TH for the UK flagged Safmarine Meru and would like to continue to do so, since this code is not currently in use by ICES.

<br />
<br />Flag date of change from UK to Singapore is uncertain.
