In context
How Brarena 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.
Norway is the country of registry for 3,032 vessels in this directory. The most common class under that flag is vessels this registry holds no type classification for (2,126 ships), and the median vessel measures 3,102 GT. Browse every ship flagged Norway.
Narrowing to both dimensions at once, this registry holds 2,126 vessels this registry holds no type classification for flying the Norway flag.
Brarena was built in 1947, making it 79 years old. It is one of 69 hulls in this registry delivered that year, a cohort whose median tonnage is 2,304 GT. Across the whole of the 1940s the registry holds 1,039 vessels, median 4,053 GT. The median build year across the entire registry is 1995.
The registry attributes 90 vessels to Eriksbergs Mekaniska Verkstad, with a median tonnage of 11,582 GT, delivered between 1907 and 1978. See the rest of that yard’s output.
At 158.0 m overall, Brarena is 43.0 m longer than the 115.0 m median for vessels this registry holds no type classification for on record.
IMO numbers are issued in broadly chronological blocks. Within 500 either side of 5050555 this registry holds 24 other vessels, whose median build year is 1947 and which range from 1929 to 1958. That places this hull’s registration in the same part of the series, consistent with its recorded build year of 1947.
Its IMO number, 5050555, carries its own check digit. The first six digits are weighted seven down to two and summed — 5×7 + 0×6 + 5×5 + 0×4 + 5×3 + 5×2 = 85 — and the last digit of that total, 5, must equal the seventh digit, 5. It does, so this number is well formed.
