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 385 gross tons, C-Tractor 5 is the 76,189th 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 smaller than the typical vessel on record here. The largest measures 499,167 GT.
Among the 1,471 tugs held here, it ranks 639th by tonnage — larger than 49% of that group. Their median tonnage is 393 GT, and the largest tenth begin at 1,733 GT. The flag most often flown by this group is United States (239 ships). The yard that appears most often against it is Damen Shipyards Gorinchem, with 62 hulls on record.
United States is the country of registry for 2,278 vessels in this directory, of which C-Tractor 5 is the 1,262nd largest by tonnage. The most common class under that flag is vessels this registry holds no type classification for (977 ships), and the median vessel measures 1,706 GT. Browse every ship flagged United States.
Narrowing to both dimensions at once, this registry holds 239 tugs flying the United States flag, of which 90 are larger by tonnage.
C-Tractor 5 was built in 1993, making it 33 years old. It is one of 1,073 hulls in this registry delivered that year, a cohort whose median tonnage is 3,586 GT; within it this ship is the 944th largest. Across the whole of the 1990s the registry holds 12,006 vessels, median 4,956 GT. The median build year across the entire registry is 1995.
The registry attributes 95 vessels to North American Shipbuilding, with a median tonnage of 2,912 GT, delivered between 1978 and 2018. See the rest of that yard’s output.
At 29.3 m overall, C-Tractor 5 is 3.0 m shorter than the 32.3 m median for tugs on record, with a beam of 11.3 m.
IMO numbers are issued in broadly chronological blocks. Within 500 either side of 9085857 this registry holds 60 other vessels, whose median build year is 1995 and which range from 1993 to 1999. That places this hull’s registration in the same part of the series, consistent with its recorded build year of 1993.
Its IMO number, 9085857, carries its own check digit. The first six digits are weighted seven down to two and summed — 9×7 + 0×6 + 8×5 + 5×4 + 8×3 + 5×2 = 157 — and the last digit of that total, 7, must equal the seventh digit, 7. It does, so this number is well formed.
