That places this hull’s registration in the same part of the series, consistent with its recorded build year of 1978.
Its IMO number, , carries its own check digit. The first six digits are weighted seven down to two and summed — = 115 — and the last digit of that total, 5, must equal the seventh digit, 5. It does, so this number is well formed.
