NCEI has determined that the name of the platform "HORIZON PACIFIC" as documented in the data files is incorrect. The data files document the platform name as "HORIZON PACIFIC" whilst NCEI has determined the correct platform name is "SEA-LAND PACIFIC". The data files contained the Ship Name "HORIZON HAWAII" (Call Sign "KIRF") which NCEI was unable to find in the ICES Platform Code Database.
