Overview

About This Vessel

RFA Gold Rover (A271) was a Rover-class small fleet tanker of the Royal Fleet Auxiliary (RFA) and one of five ships that were designed by the Admiralty, all of which were built at the Swan Hunter shipyard. Gold Rover and her sister Black Rover were the last two in service with the RFA on duty around the world. The class was phased out as part of a worldwide effort to replace single-hulled tankers with more environmentally safe double-hulled vessels. Gold Rover herself was decommissioned in a sunset ceremony at Portsmouth Naval Base on 6 March 2017.

A coverage-weighted blend of the single component we could read for this hull; the weights renormalise over only the components present, so a thin read is never inflated and a hull is never credited a “safe 0” for a signal it has no row for. This headline is flagged low-confidence (a thin or structural-only read) and should not be treated as a verdict. Higher means riskier. Derived in-house from government-open port-State-control, flag, sanctions and our own vessel data; weight it by the coverage above.
