In context
How RFA Tidereach 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.
United Kingdom is the country of registry for 2,394 vessels in this directory. The most common class under that flag is vessels this registry holds no type classification for (1,835 ships), and the median vessel measures 2,515 GT. Browse every ship flagged United Kingdom.
Narrowing to both dimensions at once, this registry holds 46 naval / patrols flying the United Kingdom flag.
RFA Tidereach was built in 1955, making it 71 years old. It is one of 201 hulls in this registry delivered that year, a cohort whose median tonnage is 1,864 GT. Across the whole of the 1950s the registry holds 2,005 vessels, median 960 GT. The median build year across the entire registry is 1995.
The registry attributes 124 vessels to Swan Hunter, with a median tonnage of 6,944 GT, delivered between 1903 and 2006. See the rest of that yard’s output.
At 177.8 m overall, RFA Tidereach is 91.2 m longer than the 86.5 m median for naval / patrols on record.
IMO numbers are issued in broadly chronological blocks. Within 500 either side of 5361021 this registry holds 13 other vessels, whose median build year is 1958 and which range from 1952 to 1962. That places this hull’s registration in the same part of the series, consistent with its recorded build year of 1955.
Its IMO number, 5361021, carries its own check digit. The first six digits are weighted seven down to two and summed — 5×7 + 3×6 + 6×5 + 1×4 + 0×3 + 2×2 = 91 — and the last digit of that total, 1, must equal the seventh digit, 1. It does, so this number is well formed.
