Avin International of Greece
« on: March 13, 2015, 12:50:10 PM »
Dear Colleagues

Does anyone know where the 'B' on the funnel is derived from on Avin International  vessels ?

Internet not helpful on this one !

Best Regards

I think "B" in modern Greek corresponds to ancient Greek "V", hence "B" represents shipowner Vardis Vardinoyannis or Varnima Corp of which Avin International is a part.

apologies, it's old Greek letter Beta which has softened to "V" in modern Greek.
