In brief
MV Solo was a Greenpeace ship from 1990 to 1995, originally built in 1977 as an ocean tug called the Smit Houston. Greenpeace updated the ship with a helipad as well as veterinary and laboratory facilities. In 1995 she was chartered by a company working with the Dutch Ministry of Transport, Public Works and Water Management for use as a salvage vessel. At this time the ship was renamed as the ETV Waker. On 7 September 2009, a fire starting in the engine room so seriously damaged the vessel that she was scrapped.

In context
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 2,167 gross tons, MV Solo is the 56,851st 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 2.8 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 32,218th by tonnage — larger than 35% 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.
Netherlands is the country of registry for 1,546 vessels in this directory, of which MV Solo is the 805th largest by tonnage. The most common class under that flag is vessels this registry holds no type classification for (839 ships), and the median vessel measures 2,810 GT. Browse every ship flagged Netherlands.
Narrowing to both dimensions at once, this registry holds 839 vessels this registry holds no type classification for flying the Netherlands flag, of which 336 are larger by tonnage.
MV Solo was built in 1977, making it 49 years old. It is one of 1,791 hulls in this registry delivered that year, a cohort whose median tonnage is 5,622 GT; within it this ship is the 1,033rd largest. 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 21 vessels to Verolme Scheepswerf Heusden, with a median tonnage of 7,950 GT, delivered between 1972 and 1998. See the rest of that yard’s output.
At 67.0 m overall, MV Solo is 48.0 m shorter than the 115.0 m median for vessels this registry holds no type classification for on record, with a beam of 14.6 m and a draft of 6.2 m.
IMO numbers are issued in broadly chronological blocks. Within 500 either side of 7522124 this registry holds 60 other vessels, whose median build year is 1976 and which range from 1975 to 1993. That places this hull’s registration in the same part of the series, consistent with its recorded build year of 1977.
Its IMO number, 7522124, carries its own check digit. The first six digits are weighted seven down to two and summed — 7×7 + 5×6 + 2×5 + 2×4 + 1×3 + 2×2 = 104 — and the last digit of that total, 4, must equal the seventh digit, 4. It does, so this number is well formed.
