In brief
Geelong Star was a former name of the 3,181 GT super-trawler and factory ship Dirk-Dirk, built in 1983 at Harlingen, Netherlands for the Dutch fishing company Parlevliet & van der Plas of Katwijk. In 2015–2016 Hobart Star was involved in political controversy and faced protests from those opposed to the use of super-trawlers in Australian fisheries.

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 5,099 gross tons, Naeraberg is the 44,113th largest of the 84,014 vessels in this registry that report a tonnage. The median across that set is 5,994 GT. The largest measures 499,167 GT.
Among the 2,411 fishing vessels held here, it ranks 55th by tonnage — larger than 98% of that group. Their median tonnage is 738 GT, and the largest tenth begin at 2,773 GT. The flag most often flown by this group is Russia (797 ships). The yard that appears most often against it is Kuznia na Rybalskomu, with 175 hulls on record.
Faroe Islands is the country of registry for 116 vessels in this directory, of which Naeraberg is the 21st largest by tonnage. The most common class under that flag is vessels this registry holds no type classification for (71 ships), and the median vessel measures 2,028 GT. Browse every ship flagged Faroe Islands.
Narrowing to both dimensions at once, this registry holds 19 fishing vessels flying the Faroe Islands flag, of which 1 is larger by tonnage.
Naeraberg was built in 1990, making it 36 years old. It is one of 1,306 hulls in this registry delivered that year, a cohort whose median tonnage is 2,025 GT; within it this ship is the 402nd largest. Across the whole of the 1990s the registry holds 12,006 vessels, median 4,956 GT. The median build year across the entire registry is 1995.
The registry attributes 1 vessels to Scheepswerf- en Reparatiebedrijf "Harlingen" BV, Harlingen, Netherlands, with a median tonnage of 5,099 GT, delivered between 1990 and 1990. See the rest of that yard’s output.
At 111.0 m overall, Naeraberg is 57.0 m longer than the 54.0 m median for fishing vessels on record, with a beam of 14.8 m and a draft of 5.1 m.
IMO numbers are issued in broadly chronological blocks. Within 500 either side of 8918318 this registry holds 59 other vessels, whose median build year is 1992 and which range from 1989 to 2000. That places this hull’s registration in the same part of the series, consistent with its recorded build year of 1990.
Its IMO number, 8918318, carries its own check digit. The first six digits are weighted seven down to two and summed — 8×7 + 9×6 + 1×5 + 8×4 + 3×3 + 1×2 = 158 — and the last digit of that total, 8, must equal the seventh digit, 8. It does, so this number is well formed.
