How MV Loch Striven 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.

At 206 gross tons, MV Loch Striven is the 80,658th 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 29 times smaller than the typical vessel on record here. The largest measures 499,167 GT.

Among the 58,086 vessels this registry holds no type classification for held here, it ranks 47,071st by tonnage — larger than 5% of that group. Their median tonnage is 5,358 GT, and the largest tenth begin at 54,309 GT. The flag most often flown by this group is Panama (5,698 ships). The yard that appears most often against it is HD Hyundai Mipo, with 615 hulls on record.

United Kingdom is the country of registry for 2,394 vessels in this directory, of which MV Loch Striven is the 1,897th largest by tonnage. The most common class under that flag is vessels this registry holds no type classification for (1,835 ships), and the median vessel measures 2,515 GT. Browse every ship flagged United Kingdom.

Narrowing to both dimensions at once, this registry holds 1,835 vessels this registry holds no type classification for flying the United Kingdom flag, of which 1,466 are larger by tonnage.

MV Loch Striven was built in 1986, making it 40 years old. It is one of 866 hulls in this registry delivered that year, a cohort whose median tonnage is 4,769 GT; within it this ship is the 794th largest. Across the whole of the 1980s the registry holds 13,213 vessels, median 3,004 GT. The median build year across the entire registry is 1995.

The registry attributes 42 vessels to Richard Dunston, with a median tonnage of 308 GT, delivered between 1957 and 1993. See the rest of that yard’s output.

At 35.7 m overall, MV Loch Striven is 79.3 m shorter than the 115.0 m median for vessels this registry holds no type classification for on record, with a beam of 10.0 m and a draft of 1.5 m.

IMO numbers are issued in broadly chronological blocks. Within 500 either side of 8512293 this registry holds 23 other vessels, whose median build year is 1986 and which range from 1985 to 1989. That places this hull’s registration in the same part of the series, consistent with its recorded build year of 1986.

Its IMO number, 8512293, carries its own check digit. The first six digits are weighted seven down to two and summed — 8×7 + 5×6 + 1×5 + 2×4 + 2×3 + 9×2 = 123 — and the last digit of that total, 3, must equal the seventh digit, 3. It does, so this number is well formed.
