Italian term or phrase: M/n

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 :).
