In context
How Polykarp 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.
Norway is the country of registry for 3,032 vessels in this directory. The most common class under that flag is vessels this registry holds no type classification for (2,126 ships), and the median vessel measures 3,102 GT. Browse every ship flagged Norway.
Narrowing to both dimensions at once, this registry holds 2,126 vessels this registry holds no type classification for flying the Norway flag.
Polykarp was built in 1935, making it 91 years old. It is one of 50 hulls in this registry delivered that year, a cohort whose median tonnage is 448 GT. Across the whole of the 1930s the registry holds 552 vessels, median 1,138 GT. The median build year across the entire registry is 1995.
The registry attributes 190 vessels to Odense Steel Shipyard, with a median tonnage of 52,186 GT, delivered between 1924 and 2012. See the rest of that yard’s output.
IMO numbers are issued in broadly chronological blocks. Within 500 either side of 5608247 this registry holds 17 other vessels, whose median build year is 1935 and which range from 1909 to 1955. That places this hull’s registration in the same part of the series, consistent with its recorded build year of 1935.
Its IMO number, 5608247, carries its own check digit. The first six digits are weighted seven down to two and summed — 5×7 + 6×6 + 0×5 + 8×4 + 2×3 + 4×2 = 117 — and the last digit of that total, 7, must equal the seventh digit, 7. It does, so this number is well formed.
