How Bømlo 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 7,310 gross tons, Bømlo is the 39,761st 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 1.2 times the typical vessel on record here. The largest measures 499,167 GT.

Among the 58,086 vessels this registry holds no type classification for held here, it ranks 22,742nd by tonnage — larger than 54% of that group. Their median tonnage is 5,358 GT, and the largest tenth begin at 54,309 GT. The flag most often flown by this group is Panama (5,698 ships). The yard that appears most often against it is HD Hyundai Mipo, with 615 hulls on record.

Norway is the country of registry for 3,032 vessels in this directory, of which Bømlo is the 812th largest by tonnage. The most common class under that flag is vessels this registry holds no type classification for (2,126 ships), and the median vessel measures 3,102 GT. Browse every ship flagged Norway.

Narrowing to both dimensions at once, this registry holds 2,126 vessels this registry holds no type classification for flying the Norway flag, of which 580 are larger by tonnage.

Bømlo was built in 2005, making it 21 years old. It is one of 1,690 hulls in this registry delivered that year, a cohort whose median tonnage is 12,046 GT; within it this ship is the 948th largest. Across the whole of the 2000s the registry holds 18,605 vessels, median 9,957 GT. The median build year across the entire registry is 1995.

The registry attributes 30 vessels to Remontowa Shipbuilding, with a median tonnage of 4,987 GT, delivered between 1952 and 2020. See the rest of that yard’s output.

At 116.0 m overall, Bømlo is 1.0 m longer than the 115.0 m median for vessels this registry holds no type classification for on record.

IMO numbers are issued in broadly chronological blocks. Within 500 either side of 9299408 this registry holds 85 other vessels, whose median build year is 2005 and which range from 2003 to 2008. That places this hull’s registration in the same part of the series, consistent with its recorded build year of 2005.

Its IMO number, 9299408, carries its own check digit. The first six digits are weighted seven down to two and summed — 9×7 + 2×6 + 9×5 + 9×4 + 4×3 + 0×2 = 168 — and the last digit of that total, 8, must equal the seventh digit, 8. It does, so this number is well formed.
