1 Initially the vessel was launched under the name Isabel in May 2002 under the flag of Bolivia (La Paz) and was noted as being one of the Alphabet fleet (I) run by Pacific Andes. The vessel was renamed Volna and operated under the Russian Federation flag from late 2002 until 2008 when it was put on the market for sale. It was subsequently purchased by the current owner and re-flagged to New Zealand in early 2008.
2 Since 2008 the vessel has been New Zealand flagged for operations in CCAMLR exploratory fisheries. At the conclusion of operations in CCAMLR exploratory fisheries the vessel flags to Australia to fish in waters under Australian jurisdiction. The vessel is required to flag back to New Zealand before New Zealand issues a licence for the vessel to operate in CCAMLR exploratory fisheries.
