No gross tonnage is recorded for this vessel, so it cannot be ranked by size. Rank is only shown where the underlying measurement exists.

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.
Netherlands is the country of registry for 1,546 vessels in this directory. The most common class under that flag is vessels this registry holds no type classification for (839 ships), and the median vessel measures 2,810 GT. Browse every ship flagged Netherlands.
Narrowing to both dimensions at once, this registry holds 22 cruise ships flying the Netherlands flag.
TSS Stefan Batory was built in 1952, making it 74 years old. It is one of 161 hulls in this registry delivered that year, a cohort whose median tonnage is 499 GT. Across the whole of the 1950s the registry holds 2,005 vessels, median 960 GT. The median build year across the entire registry is 1995.
The registry attributes 17 vessels to Wilton-Fijenoord, with a median tonnage of 9,604 GT, delivered between 1948 and 1988. See the rest of that yard’s output.
At 153.4 m overall, TSS Stefan Batory is 44.7 m shorter than the 198.1 m median for cruise ships on record, with a beam of 21.1 m and a draft of 8.8 m.
IMO numbers are issued in broadly chronological blocks. Within 500 either side of 5216147 this registry holds 10 other vessels, whose median build year is 1946 and which range from 1941 to 1961. That places this hull’s registration in the same part of the series, consistent with its recorded build year of 1952.
Its IMO number, 5216147, carries its own check digit. The first six digits are weighted seven down to two and summed — 5×7 + 2×6 + 1×5 + 6×4 + 1×3 + 4×2 = 87 — and the last digit of that total, 7, must equal the seventh digit, 7. It does, so this number is well formed.

No ship class is recorded for this vessel, so these are not asserted to be sister ships — they are contemporaries from the same builder, shown because that is what the data supports.
