In brief
About MS Viking 1
The MS Viking 1 was a car and passenger ferry delivered to Rederi Ab Sally for use in Viking Line traffic between Naantali, Finland and Kapellskär, Sweden. She operated this route in Viking Line colours between 1970 and 1982.
The Viking 1 was later known by the names Wasa Express, Khalid 1, Mecca 1, Al Hussein II, Al-Quamar Al-Saudi Al-Misri 1, Mecca 1, Al-Quamar Al-Saudi II and Fagr. As the Fagr, the ship capsized in a storm in the Red Sea on 19 April 2000. The wreck was salvaged and scrapped in October 2002.

In context
How MS Viking 1 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.
Honduras is the country of registry for 238 vessels in this directory. The most common class under that flag is vessels this registry holds no type classification for (191 ships), and the median vessel measures 885 GT. Browse every ship flagged Honduras.
MS Viking 1 was built in 1970, making it 56 years old. It is one of 336 hulls in this registry delivered that year, a cohort whose median tonnage is 2,669 GT. Across the whole of the 1970s the registry holds 17,331 vessels, median 2,774 GT. The median build year across the entire registry is 1995.
The registry attributes 160 vessels to Meyer Werft, with a median tonnage of 16,324 GT, delivered between 1902 and 2025. See the rest of that yard’s output.
At 108.7 m overall, MS Viking 1 is 4.7 m longer than the 104.0 m median for ferrys on record, with a beam of 17.2 m.
IMO numbers are issued in broadly chronological blocks. Within 500 either side of 7018599 this registry holds 54 other vessels, whose median build year is 1970 and which range from 1969 to 1971. That places this hull’s registration in the same part of the series, consistent with its recorded build year of 1970.
Its IMO number, 7018599, carries its own check digit. The first six digits are weighted seven down to two and summed — 7×7 + 0×6 + 1×5 + 8×4 + 5×3 + 9×2 = 119 — and the last digit of that total, 9, must equal the seventh digit, 9. It does, so this number is well formed.
