At 7,470 gross tons, Frej is the 39,479th 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 1.2 times the typical vessel on record here. The largest measures 499,167 GT.
Among the 612 research / surveys held here, it ranks 65th by tonnage — larger than 87% of that group. Their median tonnage is 2,180 GT, and the largest tenth begin at 9,452 GT. The flag most often flown by this group is United States (90 ships). The yard that appears most often against it is Wärtsilä, with 36 hulls on record.

IMO numbers are issued in broadly chronological blocks. Within 500 either side of 7359668 this registry holds 74 other vessels, whose median build year is 1975 and which range from 1974 to 1978. That places this hull’s registration in the same part of the series, consistent with its recorded build year of 1975.
Its IMO number, 7359668, carries its own check digit. The first six digits are weighted seven down to two and summed — 7×7 + 3×6 + 5×5 + 9×4 + 6×3 + 6×2 = 158 — and the last digit of that total, 8, must equal the seventh digit, 8. It does, so this number is well formed.
