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 4,711 gross tons, RV Barbaros Hayreddin Paşa is the 45,387th 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 612 research / surveys held here, it ranks 116th by tonnage — larger than 76% of that group. Their median tonnage is 2,180 GT, and the largest tenth begin at 9,452 GT. The flag most often flown by this group is United States (90 ships). The yard that appears most often against it is Wärtsilä, with 36 hulls on record.
Turkey is the country of registry for 748 vessels in this directory, of which RV Barbaros Hayreddin Paşa is the 293rd largest by tonnage. The most common class under that flag is vessels this registry holds no type classification for (450 ships), and the median vessel measures 3,113 GT. Browse every ship flagged Turkey.
Narrowing to both dimensions at once, this registry holds 7 research / surveys flying the Turkey flag, of which 1 is larger by tonnage.
RV Barbaros Hayreddin Paşa was built in 2011, making it 15 years old. It is one of 2,848 hulls in this registry delivered that year, a cohort whose median tonnage is 23,456 GT; within it this ship is the 2,074th largest. Across the whole of the 2010s the registry holds 20,111 vessels, median 23,456 GT. The median build year across the entire registry is 1995.
The registry attributes 1 vessels to Dubai Drydocks, with a median tonnage of 4,711 GT, delivered between 2011 and 2011. See the rest of that yard’s output.
At 84.2 m overall, RV Barbaros Hayreddin Paşa is 13.2 m longer than the 71.0 m median for research / surveys on record, with a beam of 17.0 m and a draft of 6.7 m.
IMO numbers are issued in broadly chronological blocks. Within 500 either side of 9538103 this registry holds 62 other vessels, whose median build year is 2010 and which range from 2008 to 2020. That places this hull’s registration in the same part of the series, consistent with its recorded build year of 2011.
Its IMO number, 9538103, carries its own check digit. The first six digits are weighted seven down to two and summed — 9×7 + 5×6 + 3×5 + 8×4 + 1×3 + 0×2 = 143 — and the last digit of that total, 3, must equal the seventh digit, 3. It does, so this number is well formed.
