MV Cambria

MV Cambria was built in 1949, making it 77 years old. It is one of 107 hulls in this registry delivered that year, a cohort whose median tonnage is 3,256 GT. Across the whole of the 1940s the registry holds 1,039 vessels, median 4,053 GT. The median build year across the entire registry is 1995.

The registry attributes 124 vessels to Harland and Wolff, with a median tonnage of 12,002 GT, delivered between 1904 and 2003. See the rest of that yard’s output.

At 121.0 m overall, MV Cambria is 6.0 m longer than the 115.0 m median for vessels this registry holds no type classification for on record, with a beam of 54.2 m and a draft of 27.5 m.

IMO numbers are issued in broadly chronological blocks. Within 500 either side of 5059020 this registry holds 10 other vessels, whose median build year is 1950 and which range from 1907 to 1961. That places this hull’s registration in the same part of the series, consistent with its recorded build year of 1949.

Its IMO number, 5059020, carries its own check digit. The first six digits are weighted seven down to two and summed — 5×7 + 0×6 + 5×5 + 9×4 + 0×3 + 2×2 = 100 — and the last digit of that total, 0, must equal the seventh digit, 0. It does, so this number is well formed.
