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 49,015 gross tons, Arcadia Highway is the 10,101st 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 8.2 times the typical vessel on record here. The largest measures 499,167 GT.
Among the 485 car carriers held here, it ranks 240th by tonnage — larger than 48% of that group. Their median tonnage is 49,792 GT, and the largest tenth begin at 68,871 GT. The flag most often flown by this group is Panama (132 ships). The yard that appears most often against it is Shin Kurushima Dockyard, with 41 hulls on record.
Panama is the country of registry for 9,598 vessels in this directory, of which Arcadia Highway is the 1,483rd largest by tonnage. The most common class under that flag is vessels this registry holds no type classification for (5,698 ships), and the median vessel measures 18,203 GT. Browse every ship flagged Panama.
Narrowing to both dimensions at once, this registry holds 132 car carriers flying the Panama flag, of which 71 are larger by tonnage.
Arcadia Highway was built in 1995, making it 31 years old.

Across the whole of the 1990s the registry holds 12,006 vessels, median 4,956 GT. The median build year across the entire registry is 1995.

IMO numbers are issued in broadly chronological blocks. Within 500 either side of 9078842 this registry holds 56 other vessels, whose median build year is 1994. 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, 9078842, carries its own check digit. The first six digits are weighted seven down to two and summed — 9×7 + 0×6 + 7×5 + 8×4 + 8×3 + 4×2 = 162 — and the last digit of that total, 2, must equal the seventh digit, 2. It does, so this number is well formed.
