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 56,068 gross tons, Apama is the 8,814th 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 9.4 times the typical vessel on record here. The largest measures 499,167 GT.
Among the 3,060 oil tankers held here, it ranks 900th by tonnage — larger than 70% of that group. Their median tonnage is 22,184 GT, and the largest tenth begin at 149,274 GT. The flag most often flown by this group is Panama (301 ships). The yard that appears most often against it is HD Hyundai Mipo, with 190 hulls on record.
Iran is the country of registry for 422 vessels in this directory, of which Apama is the 54th largest by tonnage. The most common class under that flag is vessels this registry holds no type classification for (245 ships), and the median vessel measures 4,793 GT. Browse every ship flagged Iran.
Narrowing to both dimensions at once, this registry holds 28 oil tankers flying the Iran flag, of which 21 are larger by tonnage.
Apama was built in 2000, making it 26 years old. It is one of 1,296 hulls in this registry delivered that year, a cohort whose median tonnage is 8,737 GT; within it this ship is the 177th largest. Across the whole of the 2000s the registry holds 18,605 vessels, median 9,957 GT. The median build year across the entire registry is 1995.
The registry attributes 1,090 vessels to Hanwha Ocean, with a median tonnage of 84,214 GT, delivered between 1982 and 2025. See the rest of that yard’s output.
At 248.0 m overall, Apama is 69.0 m longer than the 179.0 m median for oil tankers on record.
IMO numbers are issued in broadly chronological blocks. Within 500 either side of 9187631 this registry holds 72 other vessels, whose median build year is 1999 and which range from 1998 to 2004. That places this hull’s registration in the same part of the series.
Same yard, same years
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.

Measurements
Its IMO number, 9187631, carries its own check digit. The first six digits are weighted seven down to two and summed — 9×7 + 1×6 + 8×5 + 7×4 + 6×3 + 3×2 = 161 — and the last digit of that total, 1, must equal the seventh digit, 1. It does, so this number is well formed.
