Is the Oceanic officially an MV or an SS classed vessel? This error could be significant if the EPA has cited the AU coastguard flagship which was chasing Sea Shepherd around lately. Also, is there any confirmed reports of the Pacific Hickory's location? Maps and charts say it should be somewhere west of the Philippines but the "Saipan, capital of the North Mariana Islands" article and notes from BAN are consistently erroneous. see also http://BlueNorway.Org
There is additional information on the correlations between the SS Norway and the SS Oceanic Independence schedule route and involved parties at http://BlueNorway.Org
