[Platforms] France Georges Petit

[Marilynn Sørensen]

Dear Platform Group, 

Additional information has come in for the French vessel Georges Petit with existing code 35GP.  ICES questions what the true name of this vessel is and will leave the name "as is" until a clear picture of the vessel is submitted with the name. The link below says "Prof. GEORGES PETIT" but the name GEORGES-PETIT (PROFESSEUR) was sent is as the correction.

<callsign>FUUM</callsign> <platformclass>research vessel</platformclass> <Pennant>FV 597718?</pennant> <commissioned>1982</commissioned>  <decommissioned>2001</decommissioned>  <notes>Port-Vendres. Length 20.4 m. Spelling variations "Prof. Georges Petit", "Prof. Georges-Petit", "Georges-Petit", "Georges Petit", "GEORGES-PETIT (PROFESSEUR)". </notes>

Comment: Port-Vendres was sent in as a pennant number from IFREMER. It is on the hull under the name. Also on the hull is FV 597718 or is it PV 597718?
Does anyone have a clear picture of this vessel?
Cheers,
Marilynn
