It is one of 1,736 hulls in this registry delivered that year, a cohort whose median tonnage is 2,301 GT; within it this ship is the 467th largest. Across the whole of the 1980s the registry holds 13,213 vessels, median 3,004 GT. The median build year across the entire registry is 1995.

At 111.0 m overall, Aleksey Generalov is 4.0 m shorter than the 115.0 m median for vessels this registry holds no type classification for on record.

IMO numbers are issued in broadly chronological blocks. Within 500 either side of 7832294 this registry holds 25 other vessels, whose median build year is 1980 and which range from 1966 to 1980. That places this hull’s registration in the same part of the series, consistent with its recorded build year of 1980.

Its IMO number, 7832294, carries its own check digit. The first six digits are weighted seven down to two and summed — 7×7 + 8×6 + 3×5 + 2×4 + 2×3 + 9×2 = 144 — and the last digit of that total, 4, must equal the seventh digit, 4. It does, so this number is well formed.
