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 23,895 gross tons, Algoma Equinox is the 23,802nd 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 4.0 times the typical vessel on record here. The largest measures 499,167 GT.
Among the 6,890 bulk carriers held here, it ranks 4,460th by tonnage — larger than 31% of that group. Their median tonnage is 32,837 GT, and the largest tenth begin at 85,849 GT. The flag most often flown by this group is Panama (1,548 ships). The yard that appears most often against it is Oshima Shipbuilding, with 337 hulls on record.
Canada is the country of registry for 633 vessels in this directory, of which Algoma Equinox is the 29th largest by tonnage. The most common class under that flag is vessels this registry holds no type classification for (404 ships), and the median vessel measures 1,800 GT. Browse every ship flagged Canada.
Narrowing to both dimensions at once, this registry holds 34 bulk carriers flying the Canada flag, of which 10 are larger by tonnage.
Algoma Equinox was built in 2013, making it 13 years old. It is one of 2,213 hulls in this registry delivered that year, a cohort whose median tonnage is 22,566 GT; within it this ship is the 994th 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 1 vessels to Nantong Mingde Heavy Industries, Tongzhou, China, with a median tonnage of 23,895 GT, delivered between 2013 and 2013. See the rest of that yard’s output.
At 225.6 m overall, Algoma Equinox is 35.6 m longer than the 190.0 m median for bulk carriers on record, with a beam of 23.8 m.
IMO numbers are issued in broadly chronological blocks. Within 500 either side of 9613927 this registry holds 58 other vessels, whose median build year is 2012 and which range from 2010 to 2017. That places this hull’s registration in the same part of the series, consistent with its recorded build year of 2013.
Its IMO number, 9613927, carries its own check digit. The first six digits are weighted seven down to two and summed — 9×7 + 6×6 + 1×5 + 3×4 + 9×3 + 2×2 = 147 — and the last digit of that total, 7, must equal the seventh digit, 7. It does, so this number is well formed.
