In context
How BBC Kwiatkowski 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 6,155 gross tons, BBC Kwiatkowski is the 41,680th 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 255th by tonnage — larger than 73% 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.
BBC Kwiatkowski was built in 2008, making it 18 years old. It is one of 2,764 hulls in this registry delivered that year, a cohort whose median tonnage is 8,971 GT; within it this ship is the 1,571st largest. Across the whole of the 2000s the registry holds 18,605 vessels, median 9,957 GT. The median build year across the entire registry is 1995.
The registry attributes 63 vessels to Remontowa, with a median tonnage of 2,448 GT, delivered between 1980 and 2025. See the rest of that yard’s output.
At 122.5 m overall, BBC Kwiatkowski is 32.5 m longer than the 90.0 m median for multi-purposes on record, with a beam of 18.2 m and a draft of 7.2 m.
IMO numbers are issued in broadly chronological blocks. Within 500 either side of 9436953 this registry holds 64 other vessels, whose median build year is 2009 and which range from 1996 to 2013. That places this hull’s registration in the same part of the series, consistent with its recorded build year of 2008.
Its IMO number, 9436953, carries its own check digit. The first six digits are weighted seven down to two and summed — 9×7 + 4×6 + 3×5 + 6×4 + 9×3 + 5×2 = 163 — and the last digit of that total, 3, must equal the seventh digit, 3. It does, so this number is well formed.
