Arcangelo

At 15,122 gross tons, Arcangelo is the 30,846th 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 2.5 times the typical vessel on record here. The largest measures 499,167 GT.

Among the 3,881 container ships held here, it ranks 2,722nd by tonnage — larger than 26% 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.

Arcangelo was built in 1990, making it 36 years old. It is one of 1,306 hulls in this registry delivered that year, a cohort whose median tonnage is 2,025 GT; within it this ship is the 253rd largest. 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.

The registry attributes 570 vessels to Imabari Shipbuilding, with a median tonnage of 23,261 GT, delivered between 1966 and 2025. See the rest of that yard’s output.

At 166.7 m overall, Arcangelo is 54.9 m shorter than the 221.6 m median for container ships on record.

IMO numbers are issued in broadly chronological blocks. Within 500 either side of 8909094 this registry holds 49 other vessels, whose median build year is 1990 and which range from 1988 to 1996. That places this hull’s registration in the same part of the series, consistent with its recorded build year of 1990.

Its IMO number, 8909094, carries its own check digit. The first six digits are weighted seven down to two and summed — 8×7 + 9×6 + 0×5 + 9×4 + 0×3 + 9×2 = 164 — and the last digit of that total, 4, must equal the seventh digit, 4. It does, so this number is well formed.
