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 93,844 gross tons, Berge Arzew is the 3,842nd 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 16 times the typical vessel on record here. The largest measures 499,167 GT.
Among the 270 lng carriers held here, it ranks 184th by tonnage — larger than 26% of that group. Their median tonnage is 105,826 GT, and the largest tenth begin at 128,416 GT. The flag most often flown by this group is Marshall Islands (37 ships). The yard that appears most often against it is Samsung Heavy Industries, with 39 hulls on record.
The Bahamas is the country of registry for 1,614 vessels in this directory, of which Berge Arzew is the 195th largest by tonnage. The most common class under that flag is vessels this registry holds no type classification for (940 ships), and the median vessel measures 30,020 GT. Browse every ship flagged The Bahamas.
Narrowing to both dimensions at once, this registry holds 22 lng carriers flying the The Bahamas flag, of which 17 are larger by tonnage.
Berge Arzew was built in 2004, making it 22 years old. It is one of 1,485 hulls in this registry delivered that year, a cohort whose median tonnage is 17,188 GT; within it this ship is the 59th 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 1,090 vessels to Hanwha Ocean, with a median tonnage of 84,214 GT, delivered between 1982 and 2025. See the rest of that yard’s output.
At 277.0 m overall, Berge Arzew is 11.0 m shorter than the 288.0 m median for lng carriers on record.
IMO numbers are issued in broadly chronological blocks. Within 500 either side of 9256597 this registry holds 71 other vessels, whose median build year is 2003. 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, 9256597, carries its own check digit. The first six digits are weighted seven down to two and summed — 9×7 + 2×6 + 5×5 + 6×4 + 5×3 + 9×2 = 157 — and the last digit of that total, 7, must equal the seventh digit, 7. It does, so this number is well formed.
