<br /><b>General Comments:</b>
<br />
<br />We confirm the call sign EABV is correct. In fact I send you two official documents in which they can see the call sign in the IMO solicitude and the IMO number in the reply.

<br />US NODC has a record for a platform (no ICES/NODC Code assigned yet) called 'Benchi Express' that has the same call sign EABV as SOCIB. However, Benchi Express has an IMO number = 9059171.
