In brief
Algoma Mariner is a Canadian lake freighter delivered to Algoma Central on 31 May 2011. The bulk carrier was the first new Canadian-flagged vessel on the Great Lakes in 25 years. Algoma Mariner is a Seawaymax vessel, designed to carry dry bulk through the Saint Lawrence Seaway and Great Lakes. The vessel was constructed at the Chengxi Shipyard in China and is currently in service.

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 24,535 gross tons, Algoma Mariner is the 23,350th 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 4.1 times the typical vessel on record here. The largest measures 499,167 GT.
Among the 6,890 bulk carriers held here, it ranks 4,332nd by tonnage — larger than 33% 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.
Algoma Mariner was built in 2011, making it 15 years old. It is one of 2,848 hulls in this registry delivered that year, a cohort whose median tonnage is 23,456 GT; within it this ship is the 1,337th 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 167 vessels to Chengxi Shipyard, with a median tonnage of 32,474 GT, delivered between 1993 and 2021. See the rest of that yard’s output.
At 225.0 m overall, Algoma Mariner is 35.0 m longer than the 190.0 m median for bulk carriers on record, with a beam of 23.7 m.
IMO numbers are issued in broadly chronological blocks. Within 500 either side of 9587893 this registry holds 63 other vessels, whose median build year is 2011 and which range from 2010 to 2022. That places this hull’s registration in the same part of the series, consistent with its recorded build year of 2011.
Its IMO number, 9587893, carries its own check digit. The first six digits are weighted seven down to two and summed — 9×7 + 5×6 + 8×5 + 7×4 + 8×3 + 9×2 = 203 — and the last digit of that total, 3, must equal the seventh digit, 3. It does, so this number is well formed.

No ship class is recorded for this vessel, so these are not asserted to be sister ships — they are contemporaries from the same builder, shown because that is what the data supports.
