How «Alma» compares

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 2,730 gross tons, «Alma» is the 53,574th 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 2.2 times smaller than the typical vessel on record here. The largest measures 499,167 GT.

Among the 6,242 general cargos held here, it ranks 2,947th by tonnage — larger than 47% of that group. Their median tonnage is 2,963 GT, and the largest tenth begin at 10,970 GT. The flag most often flown by this group is Panama (565 ships). The yard that appears most often against it is Cestné a Stavebné Mechanizmy Tisovec, with 137 hulls on record.

Antigua and Barbuda is the country of registry for 734 vessels in this directory, of which «Alma» is the 561st largest by tonnage. The most common class under that flag is vessels this registry holds no type classification for (372 ships), and the median vessel measures 6,351 GT. Browse every ship flagged Antigua and Barbuda.

Narrowing to both dimensions at once, this registry holds 101 general cargos flying the Antigua and Barbuda flag, of which 63 are larger by tonnage.

«Alma» was built in 1985, making it 41 years old. It is one of 1,312 hulls in this registry delivered that year, a cohort whose median tonnage is 4,782 GT; within it this ship is the 782nd largest. Across the whole of the 1980s the registry holds 13,213 vessels, median 3,004 GT. The median build year across the entire registry is 1995.

The registry attributes 45 vessels to Jansen-Werft, with a median tonnage of 2,726 GT, delivered between 1951 and 2016. See the rest of that yard’s output.

At 98.0 m overall, «Alma» is 3.0 m shorter than the 101.0 m median for general cargos on record.

IMO numbers are issued in broadly chronological blocks. Within 500 either side of 8420660 this registry holds 50 other vessels, whose median build year is 1986 and which range from 1984 to 1987. That places this hull’s registration in the same part of the series, consistent with its recorded build year of 1985.

Its IMO number, 8420660, carries its own check digit. The first six digits are weighted seven down to two and summed — 8×7 + 4×6 + 2×5 + 0×4 + 6×3 + 6×2 = 120 — and the last digit of that total, 0, must equal the seventh digit, 0. It does, so this number is well formed.
