In context
How Merete Chris 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.
Denmark is the country of registry for 849 vessels in this directory. The most common class under that flag is vessels this registry holds no type classification for (495 ships), and the median vessel measures 4,678 GT. Browse every ship flagged Denmark.
Narrowing to both dimensions at once, this registry holds 495 vessels this registry holds no type classification for flying the Denmark flag.
Merete Chris was built in 1966, making it 60 years old. It is one of 440 hulls in this registry delivered that year, a cohort whose median tonnage is 839 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 69 vessels to Cassens Werft GmbH, with a median tonnage of 3,054 GT, delivered between 1903 and 2015. See the rest of that yard’s output.
At 42.2 m overall, Merete Chris is 72.8 m shorter than the 115.0 m median for vessels this registry holds no type classification for on record.
IMO numbers are issued in broadly chronological blocks. Within 500 either side of 6616904 this registry holds 17 other vessels, whose median build year is 1966 and which range from 1966 to 1967. That places this hull’s registration in the same part of the series, consistent with its recorded build year of 1966.
Its IMO number, 6616904, carries its own check digit. The first six digits are weighted seven down to two and summed — 6×7 + 6×6 + 1×5 + 6×4 + 9×3 + 0×2 = 134 — and the last digit of that total, 4, must equal the seventh digit, 4. It does, so this number is well formed.
