No gross tonnage is recorded for this vessel, so it cannot be ranked by size. Rank is only shown where the underlying measurement exists.

In context

How Elbe 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.

Elbe was built in 1980, making it 46 years old. It is one of 1,736 hulls in this registry delivered that year, a cohort whose median tonnage is 2,301 GT. 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 210 vessels to Howaldtswerke-Deutsche Werft, with a median tonnage of 30,285 GT, delivered between 1905 and 2010. See the rest of that yard’s output.

At 163.0 m overall, Elbe is 62.0 m longer than the 101.0 m median for general cargos on record.

IMO numbers are issued in broadly chronological blocks. Within 500 either side of 7720881 this registry holds 59 other vessels, whose median build year is 1978 and which range from 1954 to 1983. That places this hull’s registration in the same part of the series, consistent with its recorded build year of 1980.

Its IMO number, 7720881, carries its own check digit. The first six digits are weighted seven down to two and summed — 7×7 + 7×6 + 2×5 + 0×4 + 8×3 + 8×2 = 141 — and the last digit of that total, 1, must equal the seventh digit, 1. It does, so this number is well formed.

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.
