<p>Dear Platform Group,
<br />
<br />The previously accepted call sign and MMSI for L'Astrolabe has been shown to be the those used from the time of launch to the completed date. Usually a change in call sign/MMSI dictates a change in code. However, in this case I propose to change the code/MMSI to the current call sign. Anyone with an opinion on this - for or against - should contact accessions@ices.dk immediately and at the latest 9 April.
<br />
<br />Additional information has come in for the vessel <a href='http://vocab.ices.dk/Request/Default.aspx?id=29524' target='_blank'>L'Astrolabe</a> from FR: FRANCE.

<br /><b>Important Comments (Conflict to be resolved!):</b>
<br />
<br />From Jérôme Chappellaz, IPEV Director:
<br />
<br />I am told by Mr Arnaud Rousseeu at Marine Assistance that the call sign of L'Astrolabe has been changed to FASB, whatever its mission. FJYC was her call sign until she was delivered at Reunion Island last September.
<br />Her MMSI has changed as well. Is it now 227819100.

<br />From Patrice Bretel at ipev.fr - this is a naval vessel
<br />(Marilynn Sorensen 15/03/2018 00:00:00)<br />
<br />
<br />There does seem to be evidence for both call signs. However, the rules for assigning codes is that if there is a new call sign, then a new code should be assigned. In addition, this code is already approved by the platform group and is thus on many official platform lists. ITU has not registered a change and still has FJYC.

<br />From Natalia Atkins "Just stumbled on the fact that they have changed the call sign for this ship. From FJYC to FASB. We have received data against this call sign, and I found evidence online" (marinetraffic)
<br />(Paul McGarrigle 09/03/2018 00:00:00)<br />
<br />
<br />I’m going to submit a change request concerning the callsign of L’Astrolabe (see below). There seems to be evidence online for both values but I’m hoping the people on the platforms list can decide conclusively.
