At 231 gross tons, M/S Sjöbris is the 80,033rd 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 26 times smaller than the typical vessel on record here. The largest measures 499,167 GT.
Among the 617 passenger vessels held here, it ranks 412th by tonnage — larger than 16% of that group. Their median tonnage is 909 GT, and the largest tenth begin at 9,718 GT. The flag most often flown by this group is Egypt (65 ships). The yard that appears most often against it is Meyer Werft, with 16 hulls on record.
The registry attributes 30 vessels to Marinteknik, with a median tonnage of 398 GT, delivered between 1978 and 2008. See the rest of that yard’s output.
At 38.2 m overall, M/S Sjöbris is 22.8 m shorter than the 61.0 m median for passenger vessels on record.
IMO numbers are issued in broadly chronological blocks. Within 500 either side of 8614443 this registry holds 15 other vessels, whose median build year is 1987 and which range from 1986 to 1990. 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, 8614443, carries its own check digit. The first six digits are weighted seven down to two and summed — 8×7 + 6×6 + 1×5 + 4×4 + 4×3 + 4×2 = 133 — and the last digit of that total, 3, must equal the seventh digit, 3. It does, so this number is well formed.
