IMO numbers are issued in broadly chronological blocks. Within 500 either side of 9058957 this registry holds 38 other vessels, whose median build year is 1993 and which range from 1992 to 1995. That places this hull’s registration in the same part of the series.
Same yard, same years
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.

Measurements
Its IMO number, 9058957, carries its own check digit. The first six digits are weighted seven down to two and summed — 9×7 + 0×6 + 5×5 + 8×4 + 9×3 + 5×2 = 157 — and the last digit of that total, 7, must equal the seventh digit, 7. It does, so this number is well formed.
