<br />I noticed that the code 18CN has been created in 2006 for a Canadian ship named "CALANUS". The name is incomplete and therefore ambiguous. The full ship name is "CALANUS II", could you please update it ? It is a medium-sized vessel that is multi-taskable to fishery and oceanographic missions, as well as geological and hydrographic surveys, built in 1991. http://www.marinfo.gc.ca/en/flotte/calanusii.asp The problem with the current name, "CALANUS", is that it is the name of a 15 m research vessel built in 1948. I don't think it is still used; it doesn't look in very good shape: http://www.flickr.com/photos/24968234@N02/7593900356/lightbox/ Nevertheless we have historical data collected by the "first" CALANUS and more recent data collected by the CALANUS II and we need not confuse them.
