No gross tonnage is recorded for this vessel, so it cannot be ranked by size. Rank is only shown where the underlying measurement exists.
In brief
RFA Green Rover (A268) was a Rover-class small fleet tanker of the Royal Fleet Auxiliary (RFA), built by Swan Hunter Shipbuilders on the River Tyne, UK and completed in 1969. After decommissioning in 1992 she was sold to the Indonesian Navy and renamed KRI Arun (903).

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.
United Kingdom is the country of registry for 2,394 vessels in this directory. The most common class under that flag is vessels this registry holds no type classification for (1,835 ships), and the median vessel measures 2,515 GT. Browse every ship flagged United Kingdom.
Narrowing to both dimensions at once, this registry holds 36 tankers flying the United Kingdom flag.
RFA Green Rover was built in 1969, making it 57 years old. It is one of 814 hulls in this registry delivered that year, a cohort whose median tonnage is 992 GT. Across the whole of the 1960s the registry holds 4,074 vessels, median 844 GT. The median build year across the entire registry is 1995.
The registry attributes 124 vessels to Swan Hunter, with a median tonnage of 6,944 GT, delivered between 1903 and 2006. See the rest of that yard’s output.
At 140.6 m overall, RFA Green Rover is 1.6 m longer than the 139.0 m median for tankers on record, with a beam of 63.0 m and a draft of 24.0 m.
IMO numbers are issued in broadly chronological blocks. Within 500 either side of 6923034 this registry holds 10 other vessels, whose median build year is 1969 and which range from 1968 to 1970. That places this hull’s registration in the same part of the series, consistent with its recorded build year of 1969.
Its IMO number, 6923034, carries its own check digit. The first six digits are weighted seven down to two and summed — 6×7 + 9×6 + 2×5 + 3×4 + 0×3 + 3×2 = 124 — and the last digit of that total, 4, must equal the seventh digit, 4. It does, so this number is well formed.
