<p>Dear Platform Group,
<br />
<br />To align with NOAA, the code 49UP has been added to the list for IMO 9100322 which is the vessel <a href='http://admin.ices.dk/requests/Default.aspx?id=10535' target='_blank'>Ryofu Maru</a> from JAPAN.
<br />
<br />Does anyone have a Japanese source to confirm the name? I can only find confirmation for Ryofu Maru - not with "III" which is on the NOAA list but not with the WOD data. Please contact us with a source for Ryofu Maru III if that is correct and I will change the ICES name. The other information matches so the code can be used.
<br />
<br /><HR />

<br /><b>Important Comments (Conflict to be resolved!):</b>
<br />
<br />49UP has been added to align with NOAA. NOAA says the ship is the RYOFU MARU III but all sources say it is the RYOFU MARU.
