Tayrona

At 249 gross tons, Tayrona is the 79,547th 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 24 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 46,168th by tonnage — larger than 7% 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.

Tayrona was built in 1906, making it 120 years old. It is one of 56 hulls in this registry delivered that year, a cohort whose median tonnage is 1,761 GT; within it this ship is the 38th largest. Across the whole of the 1900s the registry holds 483 vessels, median 1,866 GT. The median build year across the entire registry is 1995.

At 42.0 m overall, Tayrona is 73.0 m shorter than the 115.0 m median for vessels this registry holds no type classification for on record.

IMO numbers are issued in broadly chronological blocks. Within 500 either side of 7829144 this registry holds 24 other vessels, whose median build year is 1978 and which range from 1906 to 1979. That places this hull’s registration in the same part of the series, consistent with its recorded build year of 1906.

Its IMO number, 7829144, carries its own check digit. The first six digits are weighted seven down to two and summed — 7×7 + 8×6 + 2×5 + 9×4 + 1×3 + 4×2 = 154 — and the last digit of that total, 4, must equal the seventh digit, 4. It does, so this number is well formed.
