<p>Dear Platform Group,
<br />
<br />Does anyone know of a UK call sign for ACT 6? The call sign is incorrect for a UK flag and it is known that some call signs were added after the codes were created. I suspect that a UK call sign existed when the ship was first registered. http://www.arrl.org/international-call-sign-series. This code is marked pending.
<br />
<br />Additional information has come in for the vessel <a href='http://vocab.ices.dk/Request/Default.aspx?id=4925' target='_blank'>ACT 6</a> from GB: UNITED KINGDOM.

<br />Code 74AS on 1991 version of SHIPC list as ACT 6. 74AS on 1996 version of SHIPC list as QUEENSLAND STAR.

<br />Photograph of this ship (http://www.bluestarline.org/act/act6.html) shows port to be Nassau, so flag was Bahamas, not UK.
