In context

How RMS Empress of England 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.

RMS Empress of England was built in 1957, making it 69 years old. It is one of 261 hulls in this registry delivered that year, a cohort whose median tonnage is 1,300 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 12 vessels to Vickers, with a median tonnage of 21,207 GT, delivered between 1922 and 2003. See the rest of that yard’s output.

At 195.0 m overall, RMS Empress of England is 80.0 m longer than the 115.0 m median for vessels this registry holds no type classification for on record, with a beam of 25.9 m and a draft of 8.8 m.

IMO numbers are issued in broadly chronological blocks. Within 500 either side of 5103948 this registry holds 14 other vessels, whose median build year is 1956 and which range from 1943 to 1962. That places this hull’s registration in the same part of the series, consistent with its recorded build year of 1957.

Its IMO number, 5103948, carries its own check digit. The first six digits are weighted seven down to two and summed — 5×7 + 1×6 + 0×5 + 3×4 + 9×3 + 4×2 = 88 — and the last digit of that total, 8, must equal the seventh digit, 8. It does, so this number is well formed.
