In context
How Elbe Maru 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 Maru was built in 1972, making it 54 years old. It is one of 1,928 hulls in this registry delivered that year, a cohort whose median tonnage is 2,016 GT. Across the whole of the 1970s the registry holds 17,331 vessels, median 2,774 GT. The median build year across the entire registry is 1995.
The registry attributes 230 vessels to Mitsui Tamano Shipyard, with a median tonnage of 31,228 GT, delivered between 1950 and 2024. See the rest of that yard’s output.
At 269.0 m overall, Elbe Maru is 154.0 m longer than the 115.0 m median for vessels this registry holds no type classification for on record, with a beam of 32.3 m and a draft of 12.0 m.
IMO numbers are issued in broadly chronological blocks. Within 500 either side of 7121243 this registry holds 69 other vessels, whose median build year is 1971 and which range from 1953 to 1976. That places this hull’s registration in the same part of the series, consistent with its recorded build year of 1972.
Its IMO number, 7121243, carries its own check digit. The first six digits are weighted seven down to two and summed — 7×7 + 1×6 + 2×5 + 1×4 + 2×3 + 4×2 = 83 — and the last digit of that total, 3, must equal the seventh digit, 3. It does, so this number is well formed.
