Your Imo Code Is Series That Was

In addition to the current name changed on 11 June 2005, parts of the ships former names are visible: Cornelie Oldendorff and Asia Melody.

On 9 August 2007, with a little blue paint, the ships name changed again to Evangeli with a new flag country of South Korea.

In all cases, the IMO number for this ship remains the same.

IMO numbers were introduced to improve maritime safety and security and to reduce maritime fraud.

They consist of the three letters IMO followed by unique seven-digit numbers, assigned under the International Convention for the Safety of Life at Sea (SOLAS).

The number identifies a ship and does not change when the ships owner, country of registry or name changes.

Since 1 July 2004, passenger ships are also required to carry the marking on a horizontal surface visible from the air.

Lloyds Register had already introduced permanent numbers for all the ships in their published register in 1963, and these were modified to 7-digit numbers in 1969.

Your Imo Code Is Series That Was

It is this number series that was adopted as the basis for IMO numbers in 1987.

It was applied to cargo vessels that are at least 300 gross tons (gt) and passenger vessels of at least 100 gt.

This included a modification to SOLAS Regulation XI-13 to require the IMO numbers to be permanently marked in a visible place either on the ships hull or superstructure as well as internally and on the ships certificates.

Passenger ships should also carry the marking on a horizontal surface visible from the air.

The enhanced regulations came into effect on 1 July 2004.

Other amendments require these numbers to be added to the relevant certificates and documents in the International Safety Management Code (ISM) and the International Ship and Port Facility Security Code (ISPS).

Like the IMO ship identification number, the company identification number is a seven-digit number with the prefix IMO.

For example, for the ship Atlantic Star (IMO 8024026), IMO 5304986 referred to the former ship manager Pullmantur Cruises Ship Management Ltd and IMO 5364264 to her former owner, Pullmantur Cruises Empress Ltd.

Many vessels which fall outside the mandatory requirements of SOLAS have numbers allocated by Lloyds Register or IHS Markit in the same numerical series, including fishing vessels 8 and commercial yachts.

This consists of a six-digit sequential unique number followed by a check digit.

The integrity of an IMO number can be verified using its check digit.

This is done by multiplying each of the first six digits by a factor of 2 to 7 corresponding to their position from right to left.

For example, for IMO 907472 9: (9 7 ) (0 6 ) (7 5 ) (4 4 ) (7 3 ) (2 2 ) 13 9.
