In context

How Beaufort 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 561 gross tons, Beaufort is the 72,412th 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 11 times smaller than the typical vessel on record here. The largest measures 499,167 GT.

Among the 611 naval / patrols held here, it ranks 181st by tonnage — larger than 33% of that group. Their median tonnage is 1,325 GT, and the largest tenth begin at 23,606 GT. The flag most often flown by this group is United States (136 ships). The yard that appears most often against it is Austal, with 33 hulls on record.

Germany is the country of registry for 885 vessels in this directory, of which Beaufort is the 392nd 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 30 naval / patrols flying the Germany flag, of which 2 are larger by tonnage.

Beaufort was built in 1969, making it 57 years old. It is one of 814 hulls in this registry delivered that year, a cohort whose median tonnage is 992 GT; within it this ship is the 436th largest. 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.

At 53.3 m overall, Beaufort is 33.3 m shorter than the 86.5 m median for naval / patrols on record, with a beam of 9.0 m and a draft of 2.8 m.

IMO numbers are issued in broadly chronological blocks. Within 500 either side of 8895097 this registry holds 3 other vessels, whose median build year is 1973 and which range from 1969 to 1977. That places this hull’s registration in the same part of the series, consistent with its recorded build year of 1969.

Its IMO number, 8895097, carries its own check digit. The first six digits are weighted seven down to two and summed — 8×7 + 8×6 + 9×5 + 5×4 + 0×3 + 9×2 = 187 — and the last digit of that total, 7, must equal the seventh digit, 7. It does, so this number is well formed.
