Italian term

M/n

Italian to English Other Ships, Sailing, Maritime
I have a letter from a harbour master to a salvage company which refers to a Bulgarian merchant ship which has been the subject of a refloating operation. "M/n" appears immediately before the name of the ship, so I guess it is something along the lines of HMS or SS except different. Any bright ideas? TIA :).
Proposed translations (English)
5 motonave
5 M/V - motor vessel

sorry I thought about the place to find it only after having posted the question. Hope it's useful in future anyway :).

MS I think M/n = motonave, hence same as MS = motorship or MV = motor vessel
