At 51,265 gross tons, Am Point Lisas is the 9,555th 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 8.6 times the typical vessel on record here. The largest measures 499,167 GT.

Among the 6,890 bulk carriers held here, it ranks 1,008th by tonnage — larger than 84% 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.

It is one of 3,028 hulls in this registry delivered that year, a cohort whose median tonnage is 20,204 GT; within it this ship is the 540th 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 301 vessels to Jiangsu Yangzi Xinfu Shipbuilding, with a median tonnage of 44,127 GT, delivered between 2008 and 2025. See the rest of that yard’s output.

IMO numbers are issued in broadly chronological blocks. Within 500 either side of 9587477 this registry holds 61 other vessels, whose median build year is 2011 and which range from 2010 to 2016. That places this hull’s registration in the same part of the series, consistent with its recorded build year of 2010.

Its IMO number, 9587477, 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 + 4×3 + 7×2 = 187 — and the last digit of that total, 7, must equal the seventh digit, 7. It does, so this number is well formed.
