ZKM prefix on 1988 DeFever 49 Raised Pilot House

[Tangaroa]

Good Day Folks,

Does anyone have any knowledge of the builder with a prefix of ZKM for a DeFever 49 raised pilot house? This is not one I've seen before and online searching is not turning up anything, so I thought I'd check in with you experts. Reportedly in Kaohsiung (per USCG Document).

ZKM denotes the build yard. I’m guessing the Sen Koh yard in Taiwan. Check with the DeFever cruisers forum people. One question, do you have access to the build documents? They will name the yard location.

According to the list on the Defever Forum, ZKM is the Trade Commission of Norway, which doesn’t make much sense. I found this boat in the database on the Defever Forum, which says it’s a 1988 49 RPH, but it doesn’t say where it was built.
