That places this hull’s registration in the same part of the series; no build year is recorded for this vessel itself.
Its IMO number, 9151539, carries its own check digit. The first six digits are weighted seven down to two and summed — 9×7 + 1×6 + 5×5 + 1×4 + 5×3 + 3×2 = 119 — and the last digit of that total, 9, must equal the seventh digit, 9. It does, so this number is well formed.
