Peking

The registry attributes 88 vessels to Blohm+Voss, with a median tonnage of 6,876 GT, delivered between 1905 and 2025. See the rest of that yard’s output.

At 115.0 m overall, Peking is 14.0 m longer than the 101.0 m median for general cargos on record, with a beam of 14.4 m and a draft of 7.2 m.

IMO numbers are issued in broadly chronological blocks. Within 500 either side of 1163371 this registry holds 8 other vessels, whose median build year is 1934 and which range from 1933 to 1940. That places this hull’s registration in the same part of the series; no build year is recorded for this vessel itself.

Its IMO number, 1163371, carries its own check digit. The first six digits are weighted seven down to two and summed — 1×7 + 1×6 + 6×5 + 3×4 + 3×3 + 7×2 = 78 — and the last digit of that total, 8, must equal the seventh digit, 1. It does not, so this number as recorded does not validate; it is shown here as held rather than silently corrected.
