There is a discrepancy between the text and the sidebar. The text states "a weight of 23,428 tons", but the sidebar gives this figure as BRT (register tons), which have nothing to do with weight. One of these is likely to be wrong, and I think it is the text because it is uncommon to give a gross displacement for commercial ships (unlike warships).
