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 3,176 gross tons, Indian Empress is the 50,938th 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 1.9 times smaller than the typical vessel on record here. The largest measures 499,167 GT.
Among the 311 yachts held here, it ranks 56th by tonnage — larger than 80% of that group. Their median tonnage is 1,352 GT, and the largest tenth begin at 5,565 GT. The flag most often flown by this group is Cayman Islands (101 ships). The yard that appears most often against it is Lürssen, with 27 hulls on record.
Indian Empress was built in 2000, making it 26 years old. It is one of 1,296 hulls in this registry delivered that year, a cohort whose median tonnage is 8,737 GT; within it this ship is the 807th largest. Across the whole of the 2000s the registry holds 18,605 vessels, median 9,957 GT. The median build year across the entire registry is 1995.
The registry attributes 24 vessels to Oceanco, with a median tonnage of 2,310 GT, delivered between 1997 and 2023. See the rest of that yard’s output.
At 95.0 m overall, Indian Empress is 29.8 m longer than the 65.2 m median for yachts on record, with a beam of 15.0 m and a draft of 4.5 m.
IMO numbers are issued in broadly chronological blocks. Within 500 either side of 1006245 this registry holds 50 other vessels, whose median build year is 1999 and which range from 1969 to 2007. That places this hull’s registration in the same part of the series, consistent with its recorded build year of 2000.
Its IMO number, 1006245, carries its own check digit. The first six digits are weighted seven down to two and summed — 1×7 + 0×6 + 0×5 + 6×4 + 2×3 + 4×2 = 45 — and the last digit of that total, 5, must equal the seventh digit, 5. It does, so this number is well formed.
