No gross tonnage is recorded for this vessel, so it cannot be ranked by size. Rank is only shown where the underlying measurement exists.

How Alsterufer 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.
Alsterufer was built in 1954, making it 72 years old. It is one of 182 hulls in this registry delivered that year, a cohort whose median tonnage is 2,174 GT. Across the whole of the 1950s the registry holds 2,005 vessels, median 960 GT. The median build year across the entire registry is 1995.
The registry attributes 48 vessels to Deutsche Werft, with a median tonnage of 8,607 GT, delivered between 1925 and 1969. See the rest of that yard’s output.
At 119.9 m overall, Alsterufer is 8.5 m shorter than the 128.4 m median for reefers on record.
IMO numbers are issued in broadly chronological blocks. Within 500 either side of 5012759 this registry holds 15 other vessels, whose median build year is 1952 and which range from 1937 to 1962. That places this hull’s registration in the same part of the series, consistent with its recorded build year of 1954.
Its IMO number, 5012759, carries its own check digit. The first six digits are weighted seven down to two and summed — 5×7 + 0×6 + 1×5 + 2×4 + 7×3 + 5×2 = 79 — and the last digit of that total, 9, must equal the seventh digit, 9. 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.
