How Athena 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 9,547 gross tons, Athena is the 36,744th 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 1.6 times the typical vessel on record here. The largest measures 499,167 GT.

Among the 611 naval / patrols held here, it ranks 53rd by tonnage — larger than 81% of that group. Their median tonnage is 1,325 GT, and the largest tenth begin at 23,606 GT. The flag most often flown by this group is United States (136 ships). The yard that appears most often against it is Austal, with 33 hulls on record.

Netherlands is the country of registry for 1,546 vessels in this directory, of which Athena is the 199th largest by tonnage. The most common class under that flag is vessels this registry holds no type classification for (839 ships), and the median vessel measures 2,810 GT. Browse every ship flagged Netherlands.

Narrowing to both dimensions at once, this registry holds 5 naval / patrols flying the Netherlands flag, of which 1 is larger by tonnage.

Athena was built in 2011, making it 15 years old. It is one of 2,848 hulls in this registry delivered that year, a cohort whose median tonnage is 23,456 GT; within it this ship is the 1,832nd 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 85 vessels to Royal IHC, with a median tonnage of 9,125 GT, delivered between 1947 and 2024. See the rest of that yard’s output.

At 136.0 m overall, Athena is 49.5 m longer than the 86.5 m median for naval / patrols on record.

IMO numbers are issued in broadly chronological blocks. Within 500 either side of 9548603 this registry holds 54 other vessels, whose median build year is 2010 and which range from 2008 to 2014. That places this hull’s registration in the same part of the series, consistent with its recorded build year of 2011.

Its IMO number, 9548603, carries its own check digit. The first six digits are weighted seven down to two and summed — 9×7 + 5×6 + 4×5 + 8×4 + 6×3 + 0×2 = 163 — and the last digit of that total, 3, must equal the seventh digit, 3. It does, so this number is well formed.
