In context
Every figure in this section is a count, a rank or a percentile over vessels actually held in this registry — not over the world fleet, which is larger. Nothing here is estimated.
At 8,514 gross tons, Al Lusail is the 38,156th largest of the 84,014 vessels in this registry that report a tonnage. The median across that set is 5,994 GT, so this hull is about 1.4 times the typical vessel on record here. The largest measures 499,167 GT.
Among the 311 yachts held here, it ranks 17th by tonnage — larger than 94% of that group. Their median tonnage is 1,352 GT, and the largest tenth begin at 5,565 GT. The flag most often flown by this group is Cayman Islands (101 ships). The yard that appears most often against it is Lürssen, with 27 hulls on record.
Qatar is the country of registry for 89 vessels in this directory, of which Al Lusail is the 24th largest by tonnage. The most common class under that flag is vessels this registry holds no type classification for (56 ships), and the median vessel measures 2,100 GT. Browse every ship flagged Qatar.
Narrowing to both dimensions at once, this registry holds 2 yachts flying the Qatar flag, of which none is larger than Al Lusail.
Al Lusail was built in 2017, making it 9 years old. It is one of 1,468 hulls in this registry delivered that year, a cohort whose median tonnage is 26,213 GT; within it this ship is the 977th largest. Across the whole of the 2010s the registry holds 20,111 vessels, median 23,456 GT. The median build year across the entire registry is 1995.
The registry attributes 44 vessels to Lürssen, with a median tonnage of 3,949 GT, delivered between 1956 and 2023. See the rest of that yard’s output.
At 124.0 m overall, Al Lusail is 58.8 m longer than the 65.2 m median for yachts on record, with a beam of 23.0 m and a draft of 5.5 m.
IMO numbers are issued in broadly chronological blocks. Within 500 either side of 9772929 this registry holds 42 other vessels, whose median build year is 2016 and which range from 2014 to 2020. That places this hull’s registration in the same part of the series, consistent with its recorded build year of 2017.
Its IMO number, 9772929, carries its own check digit. The first six digits are weighted seven down to two and summed — 9×7 + 7×6 + 7×5 + 2×4 + 9×3 + 2×2 = 179 — and the last digit of that total, 9, must equal the seventh digit, 9. It does, so this number is well formed.
