<br />This ship was originally requested as CSCL MELBOURNE with call sign VRBI8. In METEO, the call sign VRBI8 is associated with a later instance of the ship, SEASPAN MELBOURNE. When CSCL MELBOURNE became SEASPAN MELBOURNE, the call sign and MMSI remained unchanged. For consistency, two codes were created with this ship, both with call sign VRBI8: HKEL for CSCL MELBOURNE, and HK03 for SEASPAN MELBOURNE.
