At 5,160 gross tons, Bandura is the 43,955th largest of the 84,014 vessels in this registry that report a tonnage. The median across that set is 5,994 GT. The largest measures 499,167 GT.

Among the 1,085 multi-purposes held here, it ranks 314th by tonnage — larger than 67% of that group. Their median tonnage is 2,998 GT, and the largest tenth begin at 11,901 GT. The flag most often flown by this group is Netherlands (170 ships). The yard that appears most often against it is SLKB Komarno – Slovak Shipyard Komárno, with 78 hulls on record.

Bandura was built in 2010, making it 16 years old. It is one of 3,028 hulls in this registry delivered that year, a cohort whose median tonnage is 20,204 GT; within it this ship is the 2,047th largest. Across the whole of the 2010s the registry holds 20,111 vessels, median 23,456 GT. The median build year across the entire registry is 1995.

The registry attributes 91 vessels to Damen Shipyards Bergum, with a median tonnage of 2,545 GT, delivered between 1982 and 2017. See the rest of that yard’s output.

At 117.2 m overall, Bandura is 27.2 m longer than the 90.0 m median for multi-purposes on record, with a beam of 15.8 m and a draft of 6.5 m.

IMO numbers are issued in broadly chronological blocks. Within 500 either side of 9526071 this registry holds 50 other vessels, whose median build year is 2011 and which range from 2008 to 2014. That places this hull’s registration in the same part of the series, consistent with its recorded build year of 2010.

Its IMO number, 9526071, carries its own check digit. The first six digits are weighted seven down to two and summed — 9×7 + 5×6 + 2×5 + 6×4 + 0×3 + 7×2 = 141 — and the last digit of that total, 1, must equal the seventh digit, 1. It does, so this number is well formed.
