[Platforms] Estonia Salme

[Roy Lowry]

Hi Marilynn,

The platformclass (fishing vessel) and title (R/V) seem to contradict each other.  Is she actually a research vessel - which includes fishery research vessels or a ship that spends most of her time fishing commercially, but is sometimes chartered for research work?

Cheers, Roy.
