Amal Glory

At 3,713 gross tons, Amal Glory is the 48,998th 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 1.6 times smaller than the typical vessel on record here. The largest measures 499,167 GT.

Among the 6,242 general cargos held here, it ranks 2,316th by tonnage — larger than 58% of that group. Their median tonnage is 2,963 GT, and the largest tenth begin at 10,970 GT. The flag most often flown by this group is Panama (565 ships). The yard that appears most often against it is Cestné a Stavebné Mechanizmy Tisovec, with 137 hulls on record.

Amal Glory was built in 1957, making it 69 years old. It is one of 261 hulls in this registry delivered that year, a cohort whose median tonnage is 1,300 GT; within it this ship is the 33rd largest. Across the whole of the 1950s the registry holds 2,005 vessels, median 960 GT. The median build year across the entire registry is 1995.

The registry attributes 57 vessels to AG Weser, with a median tonnage of 10,552 GT, delivered between 1906 and 1981. See the rest of that yard’s output.

At 119.8 m overall, Amal Glory is 18.8 m longer than the 101.0 m median for general cargos on record.

IMO numbers are issued in broadly chronological blocks. Within 500 either side of 5367192 this registry holds 16 other vessels, whose median build year is 1954 and which range from 1929 to 1963. That places this hull’s registration in the same part of the series, consistent with its recorded build year of 1957.

Its IMO number, 5367192, carries its own check digit. The first six digits are weighted seven down to two and summed — 5×7 + 3×6 + 6×5 + 7×4 + 1×3 + 9×2 = 132 — and the last digit of that total, 2, must equal the seventh digit, 2. It does, so this number is well formed.
