Thalassitis was built in 1988, making it 38 years old. It is one of 920 hulls in this registry delivered that year, a cohort whose median tonnage is 1,512 GT; within it this ship is the 147th 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.

IMO numbers are issued in broadly chronological blocks. Within 500 either side of 8604711 this registry holds 14 other vessels, whose median build year is 1987 and which range from 1986 to 1990. That places this hull’s registration in the same part of the series, consistent with its recorded build year of 1988.

Its IMO number, 8604711, carries its own check digit. The first six digits are weighted seven down to two and summed — 8×7 + 6×6 + 0×5 + 4×4 + 7×3 + 1×2 = 131 — and the last digit of that total, 1, must equal the seventh digit, 1. It does, so this number is well formed.
