Batillus

At 275,267 gross tons, Batillus is the 3rd 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 46 times the typical vessel on record here. The largest measures 499,167 GT.

Among the 3,060 oil tankers held here, it ranks 1st by tonnage — larger than 100% of that group. Their median tonnage is 22,184 GT, and the largest tenth begin at 149,274 GT. The flag most often flown by this group is Panama (301 ships). The yard that appears most often against it is HD Hyundai Mipo, with 190 hulls on record.

Batillus was built in 1976, making it 50 years old. It is one of 1,812 hulls in this registry delivered that year, a cohort whose median tonnage is 4,484 GT; within it this ship is the 1st largest. Across the whole of the 1970s the registry holds 17,331 vessels, median 2,774 GT. The median build year across the entire registry is 1995.

The registry attributes 123 vessels to Chantiers de l'Atlantique, with a median tonnage of 63,786 GT, delivered between 1912 and 2026. See the rest of that yard’s output.

At 414.2 m overall, Batillus is 235.2 m longer than the 179.0 m median for oil tankers on record, with a beam of 63.0 m and a draft of 28.6 m.

IMO numbers are issued in broadly chronological blocks. Within 500 either side of 7360095 this registry holds 52 other vessels, whose median build year is 1975 and which range from 1974 to 1978. That places this hull’s registration in the same part of the series, consistent with its recorded build year of 1976.

Its IMO number, 7360095, carries its own check digit. The first six digits are weighted seven down to two and summed — 7×7 + 3×6 + 6×5 + 0×4 + 0×3 + 9×2 = 115 — and the last digit of that total, 5, must equal the seventh digit, 5. It does, so this number is well formed.
