Technical data

[edit]

I suggest a bit of re-ordering here. The first paragraph is an unreadable splurge of numbers that would surely be better in the infobox. User Llammakey reverted my last edit showing the current tonnage, but surely the ship's current measurements are more relevant than its original measurements (certainly no less relevant). I'm not interested in an edit war with someone who clearly knows his stuff, so rather than press ahead I'd like to get some consensus. My idea is to expand the infobox and add a new section: Current measurements. Or does anyone have a better idea?

Also, the page says that the remeasurement was recent, but if the ship is subject to the 1968 Tonnage Convention then the remeasurement must have happened by 1992. If the new numbers are the result of the later refit, then the 1992 remeasurement will be hard to discover and probably isn't relevant. However, it makes no sense to have a vessel operating in 2020 only showing tonnage that has been obsolete for nearly three decades.Patrick Neylan (talk) 22:46, 1 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

You need WP:RS that say that the remeasurement happened on a certain date. That is why I used the original construction information in the infobox. I know when those numbers happened. I have no idea when all the remeasurements took place, just that a certain time, it had been remeasured. As for the "splurge of numbers", please go read any WP:FAC on ships. That is how the articles are constructed. Llammakey (talk) 12:05, 2 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
