<br /><b>General Comments:</b>
<br />
<br />Original requester of a code for the 1995 built Polar Queen is Friedrich Nast.
<br />(Marilynn Sorensen 12/09/2013 00:00:00)<br />
<br />
<br />Information by Friedrich Nast was originally added to Polar Queen 58AB on Feb.21, 2011. 58AB had no attributes other than Name and Country at that time. The added information was never accepted by ICES or the platform group and the information was moved to the 1995 built Polar Queen after clarification from Vigdis Rong on 11 Sept. 2013.
