No gross tonnage is recorded for this vessel, so it cannot be ranked by size. Rank is only shown where the underlying measurement exists.
In brief
Lifeline is a small rescue boat, formerly an inshore fisheries research vessel of the Fisheries Research Services currently seized by Maltese authorities due to disputed ownership, ship classification, home port documentation and flag registration.
The captain, Claus-Peter Reisch appeared in a Maltese court charged with commanding an improperly registered ship and was released on a 10,000-euro bail.

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.
Netherlands is the country of registry for 1,546 vessels in this directory. The most common class under that flag is vessels this registry holds no type classification for (839 ships), and the median vessel measures 2,810 GT. Browse every ship flagged Netherlands.
Narrowing to both dimensions at once, this registry holds 839 vessels this registry holds no type classification for flying the Netherlands flag.
Lifeline was built in 1968, making it 58 years old. It is one of 536 hulls in this registry delivered that year, a cohort whose median tonnage is 769 GT. Across the whole of the 1960s the registry holds 4,074 vessels, median 844 GT. The median build year across the entire registry is 1995.
The registry attributes 45 vessels to Hall, Russell & Company, with a median tonnage of 1,018 GT, delivered between 1883 and 1990. See the rest of that yard’s output.
At 31.0 m overall, Lifeline is 84.0 m shorter than the 115.0 m median for vessels this registry holds no type classification for on record, with a beam of 7.9 m and a draft of 3.5 m.
IMO numbers are issued in broadly chronological blocks. Within 500 either side of 6825842 this registry holds 18 other vessels, whose median build year is 1968 and which range from 1968 to 1969. That places this hull’s registration in the same part of the series, consistent with its recorded build year of 1968.
Its IMO number, 6825842, carries its own check digit. The first six digits are weighted seven down to two and summed — 6×7 + 8×6 + 2×5 + 5×4 + 8×3 + 4×2 = 152 — and the last digit of that total, 2, must equal the seventh digit, 2. It does, so this number is well formed.

Same yard, same years
No ship class is recorded for this vessel, so these are not asserted to be sister ships — they are contemporaries from the same builder, shown because that is what the data supports.
