At 1,616 gross tons, Pregol Hav is the 60,464th 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 3.7 times smaller than the typical vessel on record here. The largest measures 499,167 GT.

Among the 1,085 multi-purposes held here, it ranks 854th by tonnage — larger than 10% of that group. Their median tonnage is 2,998 GT, and the largest tenth begin at 11,901 GT.

Pregol Hav was built in 1985, making it 41 years old. It is one of 1,312 hulls in this registry delivered that year, a cohort whose median tonnage is 4,782 GT; within it this ship is the 895th 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 106 vessels to Peters Werft, with a median tonnage of 2,236 GT, delivered between 1939 and 2009. See the rest of that yard’s output.

IMO numbers are issued in broadly chronological blocks. Within 500 either side of 8519239 this registry holds 13 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 1985.

Its IMO number, 8519239, carries its own check digit. The first six digits are weighted seven down to two and summed — 8×7 + 5×6 + 1×5 + 9×4 + 2×3 + 3×2 = 139 — and the last digit of that total, 9, must equal the seventh digit, 9. It does, so this number is well formed.
