Bunga Bakawali

Bunga Bakawali was built in 2010, making it 16 years old. It is one of 3,028 hulls in this registry delivered that year, a cohort whose median tonnage is 20,204 GT. Across the whole of the 2010s the registry holds 20,111 vessels, median 23,456 GT. The median build year across the entire registry is 1995.

At 183.0 m overall, Bunga Bakawali is 68.0 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 9458808 this registry holds 54 other vessels, whose median build year is 2011 and which range from 2007 to 2017. That places this hull’s registration in the same part of the series, consistent with its recorded build year of 2010.

Its IMO number, 9458808, carries its own check digit. The first six digits are weighted seven down to two and summed — 9×7 + 4×6 + 5×5 + 8×4 + 8×3 + 0×2 = 168 — and the last digit of that total, 8, must equal the seventh digit, 8. It does, so this number is well formed.
