[Platforms] France Georges Petit

[Michele FICHAUT]

Hi all,

On the hull I think it is "PR" that is painted.
But in all the paper swe have here from INSU which is the owner of the 
ship, the official of
the ship is "Professeur Georges Petit" and the pennant number is PV597718.

We are currently continuing to search information on the ships and 
completing the file we previously
sent you.

Regards

michèle
