How RS Olav V 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.

At 95 gross tons, RS Olav V is the 83,764th 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 63 times smaller than the typical vessel on record here. The largest measures 499,167 GT.

Among the 58,086 vessels this registry holds no type classification for held here, it ranks 49,505th by tonnage — larger than 0% of that group. Their median tonnage is 5,358 GT, and the largest tenth begin at 54,309 GT. The flag most often flown by this group is Panama (5,698 ships). The yard that appears most often against it is HD Hyundai Mipo, with 615 hulls on record.

Norway is the country of registry for 3,032 vessels in this directory, of which RS Olav V is the 2,521st largest by tonnage. 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, of which 1,675 are larger by tonnage.

RS Olav V was built in 1982, making it 44 years old. It is one of 1,706 hulls in this registry delivered that year, a cohort whose median tonnage is 3,592 GT; within it this ship is the 1,658th 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 30 vessels to Oma Baatbyggeri, with a median tonnage of 267 GT, delivered between 1982 and 2020. See the rest of that yard’s output.

At 26.9 m overall, RS Olav V is 88.1 m shorter than the 115.0 m median for vessels this registry holds no type classification for on record and a draft of 3.8 m.

IMO numbers are issued in broadly chronological blocks. Within 500 either side of 8228830 this registry holds 19 other vessels, whose median build year is 1984 and which range from 1982 to 1984. That places this hull’s registration in the same part of the series, consistent with its recorded build year of 1982.

Its IMO number, 8228830, carries its own check digit. The first six digits are weighted seven down to two and summed — 8×7 + 2×6 + 2×5 + 8×4 + 8×3 + 3×2 = 140 — and the last digit of that total, 0, must equal the seventh digit, 0. It does, so this number is well formed.
