<br /><b>General Comments:</b>
<br />
<br />I’m CCing my colleague Gerie-Lynn Lavigne, she is the Canadian focal point for VOS (I’m the Canadian focal point for SOOP).
<br />
<br />There are/were indeed more than one ships named Newfoundland Lynx.
<br />
<br />(1)Built 1975, renamed in 1987:
<br />“A DM3 million contract to re-build the Norwegian-registered fish factory vessel Nororn has been completed by the Bremerhaven shipyard MWB. The conversion will include the up-grading of the vessel to Canadian Coast guard standards. The vessel has been sold to Fisheries Products International, and will be re-named Newfoundland Lynx on completion. The vessel arrived at the yard during January this year, the work being completed during early May.” (1987, Ship & Boat International, Royal Institution of Naval Architects; https://books.google.ca/books?id=UF9WAAAAMAAJ)

<br />
<br />Attached is a screen capture from a 1992 IIP report, whose cover is shown on the right hand pane, showing a listing of ships (left pane) involved in data collection for that year. So I would think that this is probably for this ship that 18NX was created (http://www.nodc.noaa.gov/cgi-bin/OAS/prd/platform/details/9649; keydate=2003).
<br />
<br />Further research seems to show that it belonged to a company named Seafresh Fisheries New Zealand in 1995. There some documentation to the effect that a New Zealand ship named Newfoundland Lynx was approved for some fisheries trade between NZ and the EU in 1994 (http://eur-lex.europa.eu/legal-content/EN/TXT/PDF/?uri=CELEX:31994D0448&from=EN).
<br />
<br />I’m not sure what became of it
