How Esso Provence 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.
France is the country of registry for 517 vessels in this directory. The most common class under that flag is vessels this registry holds no type classification for (313 ships), and the median vessel measures 2,161 GT. Browse every ship flagged France.
Narrowing to both dimensions at once, this registry holds 15 oil tankers flying the France flag.
Esso Provence was built in 1972, making it 54 years old. It is one of 1,928 hulls in this registry delivered that year, a cohort whose median tonnage is 2,016 GT. Across the whole of the 1970s the registry holds 17,331 vessels, median 2,774 GT. The median build year across the entire registry is 1995.
The registry attributes 123 vessels to Chantiers de l'Atlantique, with a median tonnage of 63,786 GT, delivered between 1912 and 2026. See the rest of that yard’s output.
At 348.9 m overall, Esso Provence is 169.9 m longer than the 179.0 m median for oil tankers on record.
IMO numbers are issued in broadly chronological blocks. Within 500 either side of 7127986 this registry holds 48 other vessels, whose median build year is 1972 and which range from 1971 to 1985. That places this hull’s registration in the same part of the series, consistent with its recorded build year of 1972.
Its IMO number, 7127986, carries its own check digit. The first six digits are weighted seven down to two and summed — 7×7 + 1×6 + 2×5 + 7×4 + 9×3 + 8×2 = 136 — and the last digit of that total, 6, must equal the seventh digit, 6. It does, so this number is well formed.
