In brief

About INS Aditya

Full article ↗

INS Aditya (A59) is an Aditya-class replenishment and repair ship in service with the Indian Navy. The ship was launched on 15 November 1993 and commissioned on 3 April 2000.
Aditya is a fully air-conditioned and lengthened version of the original Deepak class, but with a multipurpose workshop and with four replenishment at sea (RAS) stations alongside. The ship was built at Garden Reach Shipbuilders and Engineers (GRSE). Building progress was very slow and the ship was plagued by propulsion problems, during her sea trials in September 1999.

In context

How INS Aditya 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.

At 15,671 gross tons, INS Aditya is the 30,431st 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 2.6 times the typical vessel on record here. The largest measures 499,167 GT.

Among the 611 naval / patrols held here, it ranks 39th by tonnage — larger than 86% of that group. Their median tonnage is 1,325 GT, and the largest tenth begin at 23,606 GT. The flag most often flown by this group is United States (136 ships). The yard that appears most often against it is Austal, with 33 hulls on record.

India is the country of registry for 968 vessels in this directory, of which INS Aditya is the 292nd largest by tonnage. The most common class under that flag is vessels this registry holds no type classification for (514 ships), and the median vessel measures 3,306 GT. Browse every ship flagged India.

Narrowing to both dimensions at once, this registry holds 8 naval / patrols flying the India flag, of which 3 are larger by tonnage.

INS Aditya 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 527th 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 11 vessels to Garden Reach Shipbuilders & Engineers, with a median tonnage of 1,949 GT, delivered between 1972 and 2008. See the rest of that yard’s output.

At 172.0 m overall, INS Aditya is 85.5 m longer than the 86.5 m median for naval / patrols on record, with a beam of 23.0 m and a draft of 7.5 m.

IMO numbers are issued in broadly chronological blocks. Within 500 either side of 8609656 this registry holds 14 other vessels, whose median build year is 1987 and which range from 1986 to 2000. That places this hull’s registration in the same part of the series, consistent with its recorded build year of 2000.

Its IMO number, 8609656, carries its own check digit. The first six digits are weighted seven down to two and summed — 8×7 + 6×6 + 0×5 + 9×4 + 6×3 + 5×2 = 156 — and the last digit of that total, 6, must equal the seventh digit, 6. It does, so this number is well formed.
