How HMCS Pictou 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.

Canada is the country of registry for 633 vessels in this directory. The most common class under that flag is vessels this registry holds no type classification for (404 ships), and the median vessel measures 1,800 GT. Browse every ship flagged Canada.

Narrowing to both dimensions at once, this registry holds 13 naval / patrols flying the Canada flag.

The registry attributes 16 vessels to Davie Shipbuilding, with a median tonnage of 5,311 GT, delivered between 1950 and 1986. See the rest of that yard’s output.

IMO numbers are issued in broadly chronological blocks. Within 500 either side of 5267029 this registry holds 13 other vessels, whose median build year is 1953 and which range from 1914 to 1959. That places this hull’s registration in the same part of the series; no build year is recorded for this vessel itself.

Its IMO number, 5267029, carries its own check digit. The first six digits are weighted seven down to two and summed — 5×7 + 2×6 + 6×5 + 7×4 + 0×3 + 2×2 = 109 — and the last digit of that total, 9, must equal the seventh digit, 9. It does, so this number is well formed.
