Technical Specifications
Overview
MV Verity was a British cargo ship built in 2001 under the name Estime. She was renamed to Union Mercury in 2004, Veqxui in 2008 and finally Verity in 2017. She had a typical general cargo ship design, though she was strengthened for heavy cargo up to 15 tonnes per square metre (1.4 long ton/sq ft). She had two bulkheads, dividing her single cargo hatch, with six different lockable locations. This made her suitable to carry any grain. Additionally, she could carry 1,533 t (1,509 long tons) of ballast, and 284.72 t (280.22 long tons) of fuel.
Intelligence
Build Series
Sister hulls share a yard, segment, build year (±1) and deadweight (±3%): the cleanest comparables for valuation. Derived in-house from our fleet register; coverage is limited to hulls carrying a recorded builder, so a series may be incomplete.
Composite Risk
Multiple adverse factors, or a hard ship-specific signal, lift this hull above the fleet norm.
A coverage-weighted blend of the 2 components 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.
Estimated
Other · summer draught 3.5 m · 10.5 t per cm immersion
Estimate only: modelled from deadweight (deadweight regression) using a first-principles hydrostatic model, not measured hydrostatic tables. The design draught it is anchored to is unreliable across the fleet.
Commercial
Price it in the Route Planner between any two commercial ports: ballast and laden legs, two fuels at live bunker prices, port and canal costs, the weather on the way, and the TCE set against the market.
Typical Coaster speed and burn. Replace them with the ship's own figures in the planner.
