In context
How CMA CGM Samson compares
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 91,498 gross tons, CMA CGM Samson is the 4,421st 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 15 times the typical vessel on record here. The largest measures 499,167 GT.
Among the 3,881 container ships held here, it ranks 715th by tonnage — larger than 81% 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.
Malta is the country of registry for 2,640 vessels in this directory, of which CMA CGM Samson is the 211th largest by tonnage. The most common class under that flag is vessels this registry holds no type classification for (1,614 ships), and the median vessel measures 23,204 GT. Browse every ship flagged Malta.
Narrowing to both dimensions at once, this registry holds 154 container ships flying the Malta flag, of which 45 are larger by tonnage.
CMA CGM Samson was built in 2011, making it 15 years old. It is one of 2,848 hulls in this registry delivered that year, a cohort whose median tonnage is 23,456 GT; within it this ship is the 309th largest. Across the whole of the 2010s the registry holds 20,111 vessels, median 23,456 GT. The median build year across the entire registry is 1995.
At 334.9 m overall, CMA CGM Samson is 113.3 m longer than the 221.6 m median for container ships on record and a draft of 14.7 m.
IMO numbers are issued in broadly chronological blocks. Within 500 either side of 9436379 this registry holds 64 other vessels, whose median build year is 2010 and which range from 1996 to 2013. That places this hull’s registration in the same part of the series, consistent with its recorded build year of 2011.
Its IMO number, 9436379, carries its own check digit. The first six digits are weighted seven down to two and summed — = 149 — and the last digit of that total, 9, must equal the seventh digit, 9. It does, so this number is well formed.
