At 12,234 gross tons, Al Salamah is the 33,149th largest of the 84,014 vessels in this registry that report a tonnage. The median across that set is 5,994 GT, so this hull is about 2.0 times the typical vessel on record here. The largest measures 499,167 GT.

Among the 311 yachts held here, it ranks 8th by tonnage — larger than 97% of that group. Their median tonnage is 1,352 GT, and the largest tenth begin at 5,565 GT. The flag most often flown by this group is Cayman Islands (101 ships). The yard that appears most often against it is Lürssen, with 27 hulls on record.

Al Salamah was built in 1999, making it 27 years old. It is one of 1,252 hulls in this registry delivered that year, a cohort whose median tonnage is 8,594 GT; within it this ship is the 517th largest. Across the whole of the 1990s the registry holds 12,006 vessels, median 4,956 GT. The median build year across the entire registry is 1995.

The registry attributes 44 vessels to Lürssen, with a median tonnage of 3,949 GT, delivered between 1956 and 2023. See the rest of that yard’s output.

IMO numbers are issued in broadly chronological blocks. Within 500 either side of 1007043 this registry holds 55 other vessels, whose median build year is 2001 and which range from 1954 to 2007. That places this hull’s registration in the same part of the series, consistent with its recorded build year of 1999.

Its IMO number, 1007043, carries its own check digit. The first six digits are weighted seven down to two and summed — 1×7 + 0×6 + 0×5 + 7×4 + 0×3 + 4×2 = 43 — and the last digit of that total, 3, must equal the seventh digit, 3. It does, so this number is well formed.
