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 236,583 gross tons, CMA CGM Jacques Saadé is the 20th 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 39 times the typical vessel on record here. The largest measures 499,167 GT.
Among the 3,881 container ships held here, it ranks 6th by tonnage — larger than 100% of that group. Their median tonnage is 33,698 GT, and the largest tenth begin at 140,096 GT. The flag most often flown by this group is Liberia (498 ships). The yard that appears most often against it is HD Hyundai Heavy Industries, with 348 hulls on record.
France is the country of registry for 517 vessels in this directory, of which CMA CGM Jacques Saadé is the 4th largest by tonnage. The most common class under that flag is vessels this registry holds no type classification for (313 ships), and the median vessel measures 2,161 GT. Browse every ship flagged France.
Narrowing to both dimensions at once, this registry holds 24 container ships flying the France flag, of which 3 are larger by tonnage.
CMA CGM Jacques Saadé was built in 2020, making it 6 years old. It is one of 984 hulls in this registry delivered that year, a cohort whose median tonnage is 32,720 GT; within it this ship is the 3rd largest. Across the whole of the 2020s the registry holds 1,769 vessels, median 29,777 GT. The median build year across the entire registry is 1995.
The registry attributes 1 vessels to China State Shipbuilding Corporation, with a median tonnage of 236,583 GT, delivered between 2020 and 2020. See the rest of that yard’s output.
At 400.0 m overall, CMA CGM Jacques Saadé is 178.4 m longer than the 221.6 m median for container ships on record, with a beam of 61.3 m and a draft of 16.0 m.
IMO numbers are issued in broadly chronological blocks. Within 500 either side of 9839179 this registry holds 54 other vessels, whose median build year is 2019 and which range from 2017 to 2024. That places this hull’s registration in the same part of the series, consistent with its recorded build year of 2020.
Its IMO number, 9839179, carries its own check digit. The first six digits are weighted seven down to two and summed — 9×7 + 8×6 + 3×5 + 9×4 + 1×3 + 7×2 = 179 — and the last digit of that total, 9, must equal the seventh digit, 9. It does, so this number is well formed.
