At 10,438 gross tons, Blue Star Naxos is the 35,172nd 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 1.7 times the typical vessel on record here. The largest measures 499,167 GT.
Among the 1,234 ferrys held here, it ranks 275th by tonnage — larger than 69% of that group. Their median tonnage is 3,908 GT, and the largest tenth begin at 25,454 GT. The flag most often flown by this group is Japan (241 ships). The yard that appears most often against it is Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, with 34 hulls on record.
Blue Star Naxos was built in 2002, making it 24 years old. It is one of 1,298 hulls in this registry delivered that year, a cohort whose median tonnage is 12,563 GT; within it this ship is the 645th 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 124.0 m overall, Blue Star Naxos is 20.0 m longer than the 104.0 m median for ferrys on record, with a beam of 18.9 m and a draft of 5.1 m.
IMO numbers are issued in broadly chronological blocks. Within 500 either side of 9241786 this registry holds 49 other vessels, whose median build year is 2002 and which range from 2000 to 2004. That places this hull’s registration in the same part of the series, consistent with its recorded build year of 2002.
Its IMO number, 9241786, carries its own check digit. The first six digits are weighted seven down to two and summed — 9×7 + 2×6 + 4×5 + 1×4 + 7×3 + 8×2 = 136 — and the last digit of that total, 6, must equal the seventh digit, 6. It does, so this number is well formed.
