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 10,000 gross tons, White Pearl is the 35,642nd 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 1.7 times the typical vessel on record here. The largest measures 499,167 GT.
Among the 311 yachts held here, it ranks 12th by tonnage — larger than 96% of that group. Their median tonnage is 1,352 GT, and the largest tenth begin at 5,565 GT. The flag most often flown by this group is Cayman Islands (101 ships). The yard that appears most often against it is Lürssen, with 27 hulls on record.
White Pearl was built in 2015, making it 11 years old. It is one of 1,804 hulls in this registry delivered that year, a cohort whose median tonnage is 25,303 GT; within it this ship is the 1,151st 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 68 vessels to Nobiskrug, with a median tonnage of 4,182 GT, delivered between 1930 and 2015. See the rest of that yard’s output.
At 145.0 m overall, White Pearl is 79.8 m longer than the 65.2 m median for yachts on record, with a beam of 24.9 m and a draft of 8.0 m.
IMO numbers are issued in broadly chronological blocks. Within 500 either side of 1012141 this registry holds 64 other vessels, whose median build year is 2014 and which range from 2010 to 2019. That places this hull’s registration in the same part of the series, consistent with its recorded build year of 2015.
Its IMO number, 1012141, carries its own check digit. The first six digits are weighted seven down to two and summed — 1×7 + 0×6 + 1×5 + 2×4 + 1×3 + 4×2 = 31 — and the last digit of that total, 1, must equal the seventh digit, 1. It does, so this number is well formed.
