In context

How Raul Soares compares

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.

Raul Soares was built in 1900, making it 126 years old. It is one of 41 hulls in this registry delivered that year, a cohort whose median tonnage is 1,208 GT. Across the whole of the 1900s the registry holds 483 vessels, median 1,866 GT. The median build year across the entire registry is 1995.

The registry attributes 118 vessels to Flensburger Schiffbau-Gesellschaft, with a median tonnage of 24,046 GT, delivered between 1900 and 2022. See the rest of that yard’s output.

IMO numbers are issued in broadly chronological blocks. Within 500 either side of 5290648 this registry holds 17 other vessels, whose median build year is 1953 and which range from 1900 to 1960. That places this hull’s registration in the same part of the series, consistent with its recorded build year of 1900.

Its IMO number, 5290648, carries its own check digit. The first six digits are weighted seven down to two and summed — 5×7 + 2×6 + 9×5 + 0×4 + 6×3 + 4×2 = 118 — and the last digit of that total, 8, must equal the seventh digit, 8. It does, so this number is well formed.
