ICES Ship Names
International Council for the Exploration of the Sea (ICES) uses SeaDataNet codes for ship names.
ICES uses a 4-character alphanumeric code for ship names (same codes as SeaDataNet uses for ship names). In addition to codes, ship attributes can be downloaded from the reference code database (RECO) on the ICES Data Centre website at ICES Data Centre - see SHIPC (once loaded, select additional information fields or related references): country, callsign, commissioned, decomissioned, previous_name, previous_callsign, previous_pennant, platformclass, pennant, and notes.
ICES maintains an interesting web page listing international Research Vessel Web Links. ICES Code listReference URLs:
