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 4,620 gross tons, Prince Abdulaziz is the 45,642nd 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 1.3 times smaller than the typical vessel on record here. The largest measures 499,167 GT.
Among the 311 yachts held here, it ranks 40th by tonnage — larger than 86% of that group. Their median tonnage is 1,352 GT, and the largest tenth begin at 5,565 GT. The flag most often flown by this group is Cayman Islands (101 ships). The yard that appears most often against it is Lürssen, with 27 hulls on record.
Prince Abdulaziz was built in 1984, making it 42 years old. It is one of 1,492 hulls in this registry delivered that year, a cohort whose median tonnage is 4,366 GT; within it this ship is the 702nd 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 56 vessels to Elsinore Shipyard and Machine Construction, with a median tonnage of 6,332 GT, delivered between 1919 and 1984. See the rest of that yard’s output.
At 147.0 m overall, Prince Abdulaziz is 81.8 m longer than the 65.2 m median for yachts on record, with a beam of 15.0 m and a draft of 5.0 m.
IMO numbers are issued in broadly chronological blocks. Within 500 either side of 1003308 this registry holds 27 other vessels, whose median build year is 1985 and which range from 1968 to 1993. That places this hull’s registration in the same part of the series, consistent with its recorded build year of 1984.
Its IMO number, 1003308, carries its own check digit. The first six digits are weighted seven down to two and summed — 1×7 + 0×6 + 0×5 + 3×4 + 3×3 + 0×2 = 28 — and the last digit of that total, 8, must equal the seventh digit, 8. It does, so this number is well formed.

Same yard, same years
No ship class is recorded for this vessel, so these are not asserted to be sister ships — they are contemporaries from the same builder, shown because that is what the data supports.
