General Comments:

18VC has been on the ship list since 1991. Since data (various year spans) are associated differently at various organisations for the Vancouver(s), it is designated a multiple hull.

Mathieu Ouellet has added attributes for the Vancouver FFH331 from 1993 to this code. This conflicts with NOAA and ICES and has been rejected. A new code has been made for the newer Vancouver.

WOD 1032 with data from 1950-2007. Data at ICES for 1967-1981. This is most likely a multiple hull. requestor contacted.
