«Avedat»

«Avedat» was built in 1964, making it 62 years old. It is one of 309 hulls in this registry delivered that year, a cohort whose median tonnage is 909 GT. Across the whole of the 1960s the registry holds 4,074 vessels, median 844 GT. The median build year across the entire registry is 1995.

The registry attributes 35 vessels to Regio Cantiere di Castellammare di Stabia, with a median tonnage of 22,652 GT, delivered between 1964 and 2015. See the rest of that yard’s output.

At 196.0 m overall, «Avedat» is 6.0 m longer than the 190.0 m median for bulk carriers on record.

IMO numbers are issued in broadly chronological blocks. Within 500 either side of 6416172 this registry holds 15 other vessels, whose median build year is 1964 and which range from 1964 to 1965. That places this hull’s registration in the same part of the series, consistent with its recorded build year of 1964.

Its IMO number, 6416172, carries its own check digit. The first six digits are weighted seven down to two and summed — 6×7 + 4×6 + 1×5 + 6×4 + 1×3 + 7×2 = 112 — and the last digit of that total, 2, must equal the seventh digit, 2. It does, so this number is well formed.
