NRP Schultz Xavier

NRP Schultz Xavier was built in 1972, making it 54 years old. It is one of 1,928 hulls in this registry delivered that year, a cohort whose median tonnage is 2,016 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 1 vessels to Arsenal do Alfeite, delivered between 1972 and 1972. See the rest of that yard’s output.

At 56.2 m overall, NRP Schultz Xavier is 58.8 m shorter than the 115.0 m median for vessels this registry holds no type classification for on record, with a beam of 10.2 m and a draft of 3.6 m.

IMO numbers are issued in broadly chronological blocks. Within 500 either side of 7104829 this registry holds 58 other vessels, whose median build year is 1971 and which range from 1970 to 1972. That places this hull’s registration in the same part of the series, consistent with its recorded build year of 1972.

Its IMO number, 7104829, carries its own check digit. The first six digits are weighted seven down to two and summed — 7×7 + 1×6 + 0×5 + 4×4 + 8×3 + 2×2 = 99 — and the last digit of that total, 9, must equal the seventh digit, 9. It does, so this number is well formed.
