Scottish Star was built in 1985, making it 41 years old. It is one of 1,312 hulls in this registry delivered that year, a cohort whose median tonnage is 4,782 GT; within it this ship is the 491st largest. Across the whole of the 1980s the registry holds 13,213 vessels, median 3,004 GT. The median build year across the entire registry is 1995.

The registry attributes 124 vessels to Harland and Wolff, with a median tonnage of 12,002 GT, delivered between 1904 and 2003. See the rest of that yard’s output.

IMO numbers are issued in broadly chronological blocks. Within 500 either side of 8315994 this registry holds 57 other vessels, whose median build year is 1984 and which range from 1981 to 1987. That places this hull’s registration in the same part of the series, consistent with its recorded build year of 1985.

Its IMO number, 8315994, carries its own check digit. The first six digits are weighted seven down to two and summed — 8×7 + 3×6 + 1×5 + 5×4 + 9×3 + 9×2 = 144 — and the last digit of that total, 4, must equal the seventh digit, 4. It does, so this number is well formed.
