How APL Cairo 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 25,305 gross tons, APL Cairo is the 22,898th 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 4.2 times the typical vessel on record here. The largest measures 499,167 GT.
Among the 3,881 container ships held here, it ranks 2,197th by tonnage — larger than 41% 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 Cairo is the 1,269th largest by tonnage.
