BAPLIE and 11-tiers on deck

Life goes on and Shipping Lines are going to maximize their profit by using vessels bigger then ever.

Vessels with up to 11-tiers on deck may create some issue with the BAPLIE file: according the ISO recommended numbering the tier on deck should start from 82; this would mean that in case of 10th or 11th tier the corresponding ISO format should be 100 or 110.

Unfortunately, in the current cell position format, the tier number cannot exceeds the two digits; this brings me to the next question: how are you handling this issue in your working environment ?

It was told me that, in order to overcome this issue, some Carriers decided to start the tier numbers on deck not with 82 but with 62 but what about you ?!
