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 72,167 gross tons, Cape Athens is the 6,454th 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 12 times the typical vessel on record here. The largest measures 499,167 GT.
Among the 6,890 bulk carriers held here, it ranks 861st by tonnage — larger than 87% of that group. Their median tonnage is 32,837 GT, and the largest tenth begin at 85,849 GT. The flag most often flown by this group is Panama (1,548 ships). The yard that appears most often against it is Oshima Shipbuilding, with 337 hulls on record.
Cyprus is the country of registry for 1,418 vessels in this directory, of which Cape Athens is the 76th largest by tonnage.

Narrowing to both dimensions at once, this registry holds 134 bulk carriers flying the Cyprus flag, of which 8 are larger by tonnage.
Cape Athens was built in 1981, making it 45 years old. It is one of 1,653 hulls in this registry delivered that year, a cohort whose median tonnage is 3,186 GT; within it this ship is the 29th largest. Across the whole of the 1980s the registry holds 13,213 vessels, median 3,004 GT. The median build year across the entire registry is 1995.
The registry attributes 99 vessels to Sakaide Works, with a median tonnage of 68,654 GT, delivered between 1970 and 2018. See the rest of that yard’s output.
At 280.0 m overall, Cape Athens is 90.0 m longer than the 190.0 m median for bulk carriers on record.
IMO numbers are issued in broadly chronological blocks. Within 500 either side of 8001579 this registry holds 61 other vessels, whose median build year is 1980 and which range from 1980 to 1984. 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, 8001579, carries its own check digit. The first six digits are weighted seven down to two and summed — 8×7 + 0×6 + 0×5 + 1×4 + 5×3 + 7×2 = 89 — and the last digit of that total, 9, must equal the seventh digit, 9. It does, so this number is well formed.
