How Balaken 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 8,045 gross tons, Balaken is the 38,673rd 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 1.3 times the typical vessel on record here. The largest measures 499,167 GT.
Among the 877 ro-ros held here, it ranks 385th by tonnage — larger than 52% of that group. Their median tonnage is 7,395 GT, and the largest tenth begin at 34,011 GT. The flag most often flown by this group is Italy (62 ships). The yard that appears most often against it is Flensburger Schiffbau-Gesellschaft, with 16 hulls on record.
Azerbaijan is the country of registry for 172 vessels in this directory, of which Balaken is the 19th largest by tonnage. The most common class under that flag is vessels this registry holds no type classification for (116 ships), and the median vessel measures 2,921 GT. Browse every ship flagged Azerbaijan.
Balaken was built in 2012, making it 14 years old. It is one of 2,747 hulls in this registry delivered that year, a cohort whose median tonnage is 23,456 GT; within it this ship is the 1,767th 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 144 vessels to Uljanik, with a median tonnage of 25,600 GT, delivered between 1952 and 2019. See the rest of that yard’s output.
At 154.0 m overall, Balaken is 29.0 m longer than the 125.0 m median for ro-ros on record.
IMO numbers are issued in broadly chronological blocks. Within 500 either side of 9632363 this registry holds 66 other vessels, whose median build year is 2013 and which range from 2011 to 2020. That places this hull’s registration in the same part of the series, consistent with its recorded build year of 2012.
Its IMO number, 9632363, carries its own check digit. The first six digits are weighted seven down to two and summed — = 143 — and the last digit of that total, 3, must equal the seventh digit, 3. It does, so this number is well formed.

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.
