How «Bar» 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.

At 218 gross tons, «Bar» is the 80,365th 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 27 times smaller than the typical vessel on record here. The largest measures 499,167 GT.

Among the 1,471 tugs held here, it ranks 976th by tonnage — larger than 23% of that group. Their median tonnage is 393 GT, and the largest tenth begin at 1,733 GT. The flag most often flown by this group is United States (239 ships). The yard that appears most often against it is Damen Shipyards Gorinchem, with 62 hulls on record.

Germany is the country of registry for 885 vessels in this directory, of which «Bar» is the 584th largest by tonnage. The most common class under that flag is vessels this registry holds no type classification for (446 ships), and the median vessel measures 916 GT. Browse every ship flagged Germany.

Narrowing to both dimensions at once, this registry holds 70 tugs flying the Germany flag, of which 59 are larger by tonnage.

«Bar» was built in 1982, making it 44 years old. It is one of 1,706 hulls in this registry delivered that year, a cohort whose median tonnage is 3,592 GT; within it this ship is the 1,551st 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.

The registry attributes 102 vessels to Rolandwerft, with a median tonnage of 6,393 GT, delivered between 1948 and 2009. See the rest of that yard’s output.

At 28.0 m overall, «Bar» is 4.4 m shorter than the 32.3 m median for tugs on record, with a beam of 8.8 m and a draft of 2.8 m.

IMO numbers are issued in broadly chronological blocks. Within 500 either side of 8116697 this registry holds 37 other vessels, whose median build year is 1983 and which range from 1981 to 1989. That places this hull’s registration in the same part of the series, consistent with its recorded build year of 1982.

Its IMO number, 8116697, carries its own check digit. The first six digits are weighted seven down to two and summed — 8×7 + 1×6 + 1×5 + 6×4 + 6×3 + 9×2 = 127 — and the last digit of that total, 7, must equal the seventh digit, 7. It does, so this number is well formed.
