How Andrea C compares

Every figure in this section is a count, a rank or a percentile over vessels actually held in this registry — not over the world fleet, which is larger. Nothing here is estimated.

Andrea C was built in 1942, making it 84 years old. It is one of 65 hulls in this registry delivered that year, a cohort whose median tonnage is 7,025 GT. Across the whole of the 1940s the registry holds 1,039 vessels, median 4,053 GT. The median build year across the entire registry is 1995.

At 142.3 m overall, Andrea C is 81.3 m longer than the 61.0 m median for passenger vessels on record, with a beam of 17.4 m and a draft of 8.2 m.

IMO numbers are issued in broadly chronological blocks. Within 500 either side of 5016523 this registry holds 12 other vessels, whose median build year is 1946 and which range from 1936 to 1960. That places this hull’s registration in the same part of the series, consistent with its recorded build year of 1942.

Its IMO number, 5016523, carries its own check digit. The first six digits are weighted seven down to two and summed — 5×7 + 0×6 + 1×5 + 6×4 + 5×3 + 2×2 = 83 — and the last digit of that total, 3, must equal the seventh digit, 3. It does, so this number is well formed.
