<br />
<br />Same as 18MH. 18MH was created 18M3 before and used exclusively by Canada and WOD (code 9155). The likely reason for creation of 18M3 was the fact that a wrong call sign (CFC5481) had been entered for 18MH. Industry Canada confirmed on Feb 24 2014 that CFC5481 was never a valid call sign for this ship. Therefore there is no apparent reason for two different ship codes for this ship. I would recommend deprecating this code. Attributes have already been submitted to 18MH.
