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 128,929 gross tons, «APL Barcelona» is the 2,036th 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 22 times the typical vessel on record here. The largest measures 499,167 GT.
Among the 3,881 container ships held here, it ranks 394th by tonnage — larger than 89% of that group. Their median tonnage is 33,698 GT, and the largest tenth begin at 140,096 GT. The flag most often flown by this group is Liberia (498 ships). The yard that appears most often against it is HD Hyundai Heavy Industries, with 348 hulls on record.
Singapore is the country of registry for 2,873 vessels in this directory, of which «APL Barcelona» is the 107th largest by tonnage. The most common class under that flag is vessels this registry holds no type classification for (1,799 ships), and the median vessel measures 20,927 GT. Browse every ship flagged Singapore.
Narrowing to both dimensions at once, this registry holds 288 container ships flying the Singapore flag, of which 33 are larger by tonnage.
«APL Barcelona» was built in 2012, making it 14 years old. It is one of 2,747 hulls in this registry delivered that year, a cohort whose median tonnage is 23,456 GT; within it this ship is the 121st 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 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 347.4 m overall, «APL Barcelona» is 125.8 m longer than the 221.6 m median for container ships on record and a draft of 15.5 m.
IMO numbers are issued in broadly chronological blocks. Within 500 either side of 9462043 this registry holds 47 other vessels, whose median build year is 2011 and which range from 2007 to 2020. That places this hull’s registration in the same part of the series, consistent with its recorded build year of 2012.
Its IMO number, 9462043, carries its own check digit. The first six digits are weighted seven down to two and summed — 9×7 + 4×6 + 6×5 + 2×4 + 0×3 + 4×2 = 133 — and the last digit of that total, 3, must equal the seventh digit, 3. It does, so this number is well formed.
