<p>Dear Platform Group,
<br />
<br />Additional information has come in for the vessel <a href='http://admin.ices.dk/requests/Default.aspx?id=4107' 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 "II", which is on the NOAA list, and "II" is not mentioned with the WOD data. Please contact us with a source for Ryofu Maru II if that is correct and I will change the ICES name. The other information matches so the code can be used.
<br /><HR />

<br /><b>Important Comments (Conflict to be resolved!):</b>
<br />
<br />NOAA has Ryofu Maru II as the name for 49RY. Miramar confirms Ryofu Maru as the name for IMO 6619530

<br />Conflict with NOAA. ICES code 49RY name RYOFU MARU. NOAA code 49RY name Ryofu Maru II
