How «Billie» 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 5,206 gross tons, «Billie» is the 43,825th 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 6,242 general cargos held here, it ranks 1,611th by tonnage — larger than 71% of that group. Their median tonnage is 2,963 GT, and the largest tenth begin at 10,970 GT. The flag most often flown by this group is Panama (565 ships). The yard that appears most often against it is Cestné a Stavebné Mechanizmy Tisovec, with 137 hulls on record.
«Billie» was built in 1936, making it 90 years old. It is one of 65 hulls in this registry delivered that year, a cohort whose median tonnage is 1,146 GT; within it this ship is the 4th largest. Across the whole of the 1930s the registry holds 552 vessels, median 1,138 GT. The median build year across the entire registry is 1995.
The registry attributes 65 vessels to Götaverken, with a median tonnage of 7,041 GT, delivered between 1910 and 1989. See the rest of that yard’s output.
IMO numbers are issued in broadly chronological blocks. Within 500 either side of 5401728 this registry holds 14 other vessels, whose median build year is 1963 and which range from 1936 to 1963. That places this hull’s registration in the same part of the series, consistent with its recorded build year of 1936.
Its IMO number, 5401728, carries its own check digit. The first six digits are weighted seven down to two and summed — 5×7 + 4×6 + 0×5 + 1×4 + 7×3 + 2×2 = 88 — and the last digit of that total, 8, must equal the seventh digit, 8. It does, so this number is well formed.
