[Platforms] NETHERLANDS - Smit-Lloyd 72

[Taco de Bruin]

Dear Platform Group,

I am just wondering whether the coding scheme works with ship names like Smit-Lloyd 72.
The proposed Code now is: 64SL.
However, with a name like Smit-Lloyd 72, we may expect at least 71 other Smit-Lloyds, and possibly many more (it's a big company!). What to do with those vessels?

Or did I miss something and am I making foolish comments?

Cheers,

Taco
