<br /><b>General Comments:</b>
<br />
<br />IMO confirmed in Equasis.

<br />
<br />In meteo, this ship, originally requested as APL ARABIA, is named NORTHERN GRACE. APL ARABIA became NORTHERN GRACE in 2015, while keeping the flag, MMSI and call sign. Since the ship did not change flag, MMSI, nor call sign, the decision to change the requested name from APL ARABIA to NORTHERN GRACE, to align with meteo, was made.
<br />(Joana Ribeiro 17/09/2019 00:00:00)<br />
<br />
<br />IMO confirmed in Miramar with multiple name changes
<br />(Signe Bagger 24/01/2018 00:00:00)<br />
<br />
<br />On METEO, the call sign, but not the name matches
