Bergitta

At 56,734 gross tons, Bergitta is the 8,700th 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 9.5 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 4,816th by tonnage — larger than 90% 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.

Bergitta was built in 2001, making it 25 years old. It is one of 1,268 hulls in this registry delivered that year, a cohort whose median tonnage is 14,062 GT; within it this ship is the 145th 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 161 vessels to Sumitomo Heavy Industries, with a median tonnage of 51,956 GT, delivered between 1959 and 2022. See the rest of that yard’s output.

At 239.0 m overall, Bergitta is 124.0 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 9197715 this registry holds 73 other vessels, whose median build year is 2000 and which range from 1998 to 2005. That places this hull’s registration in the same part of the series, consistent with its recorded build year of 2001.

Its IMO number, 9197715, carries its own check digit. The first six digits are weighted seven down to two and summed — 9×7 + 1×6 + 9×5 + 7×4 + 7×3 + 1×2 = 165 — and the last digit of that total, 5, must equal the seventh digit, 5. It does, so this number is well formed.
