Technical Specifications
Overview
RFA Tidesurge (A98) was a Tide-class replenishment oiler of the Royal Fleet Auxiliary. Launched in 1954, the ship was originally named Tiderange but was renamed in 1958 to avoid confusion with other members of the class. She was taken out of service in 1976 and left Portsmouth under tow on 19 April 1977 for Valencia where she was scrapped in June 1977.
Composite Risk
Multiple adverse factors, or a hard ship-specific signal, lift this hull above the fleet norm.
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.
Commercial
