In context
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.
At 625 gross tons, HMS Cattistock is the 71,442nd 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 9.6 times smaller than the typical vessel on record here. The largest measures 499,167 GT.
Among the 58,086 vessels this registry holds no type classification for held here, it ranks 40,054th by tonnage — larger than 19% of that group. Their median tonnage is 5,358 GT, and the largest tenth begin at 54,309 GT. The flag most often flown by this group is Panama (5,698 ships). The yard that appears most often against it is HD Hyundai Mipo, with 615 hulls on record.

HMS Cattistock was built in 1982, making it 44 years old. It is one of 1,706 hulls in this registry delivered that year, a cohort whose median tonnage is 3,592 GT; within it this ship is the 1,383rd largest. Across the whole of the 1980s the registry holds 13,213 vessels, median 3,004 GT. The median build year across the entire registry is 1995.
The registry attributes 23 vessels to VT Group, with a median tonnage of 625 GT, delivered between 1981 and 2007. See the rest of that yard’s output.
At 60.0 m overall, HMS Cattistock is 55.0 m shorter than the 115.0 m median for vessels this registry holds no type classification for on record, with a beam of 9.8 m and a draft of 2.2 m.
IMO numbers are issued in broadly chronological blocks. Within 500 either side of 4906599 this registry holds 24 other vessels, whose median build year is 1982 and which range from 1945 to 2008. That places this hull’s registration in the same part of the series, consistent with its recorded build year of 1982.
Its IMO number, 4906599, carries its own check digit. The first six digits are weighted seven down to two and summed — 4×7 + 9×6 + 0×5 + 6×4 + 5×3 + 9×2 = 139 — and the last digit of that total, 9, must equal the seventh digit, 9. It does, so this number is well formed.
