<br /><b>General Comments:</b>
<br />
<br />The entry for RYOFU MARU, code 49RY was modified in error at NODC. There are multiple platforms with the same name, RYOFU MARU, with different dates of operation. NODC will update/correct the entry for 49RY and we apologize for any confusion this has caused.

<br />NOAA has Ryofu Maru II as the name for 49RY. Miramar confirms Ryofu Maru as the name for IMO 6619530
