search_vessels

Search Norwegian ship registers (NIS and NOR) for vessels.

NIS (Norwegian International Ship Register) covers ships in international trade.
NOR (Norwegian Ordinary Ship Register) covers ships in domestic and short-sea trade.

Returns matching vessels with name, call sign, IMO number, registration status,
and owner information. Use get_vessel_details with the vessel_id for full details
including technical specifications, construction data, and document history.

Parameter	Type	Required	Description
`text`	`string`	required	Search text — vessel name, call sign, or IMO number (e.g. "VIKING VISION", "LNXF", "8907034").
`language`	`string`	optional	Response language: 'en' (English) or 'no' (Norwegian). Default: 'en'. (default: "en")

get_vessel_details

Combines vessel registration data and technical specifications into a single
response. Includes ownership, home port, construction info, bareboat status,
document history, and technical specs (dimensions, tonnage, vessel type,
build material, propulsion, and classification society).

Use search_vessels first to find the vessel_id.
