Technical Specifications
Overview
Juan Sebastián de Elcano is a training ship of the Spanish Navy. She is a steel-hulled, four-masted topsail barquentine. At 113 metres (371 ft) long, she is the third-largest tall ship in the world, and is the sailing vessel that has sailed the farthest, covering more than 2,000,000 nautical miles (3,700,000 km; 2,300,000 mi) in her lifetime. She is named after the Spanish explorer Juan Sebastián Elcano, captain of Ferdinand Magellan's last exploratory fleet and the man who completed the first circumnavigation of the world. The ship carries the Elcano coat of arms, which was granted to the family by Holy Roman Emperor Charles V, who also was King Charles I of Spain, following Elcano's return in 1522 from Magellan's global expedition. The coat of arms is a globe with the motto "Primus Circumdedisti Me" ("First to circumnavigate me").
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.
