In context
How «Elisabeth Mærsk» 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 22,626 gross tons, «Elisabeth Mærsk» is the 25,006th 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 3.8 times the typical vessel on record here. The largest measures 499,167 GT.
Among the 3,881 container ships held here, it ranks 2,285th by tonnage — larger than 38% 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.
«Elisabeth Mærsk» 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; within it this ship is the 156th 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 190 vessels to Odense Steel Shipyard, with a median tonnage of 52,186 GT, delivered between 1924 and 2012. See the rest of that yard’s output.
At 182.3 m overall, «Elisabeth Mærsk» is 39.3 m shorter than the 221.6 m median for container ships on record.
IMO numbers are issued in broadly chronological blocks. Within 500 either side of 7717171 this registry holds 45 other vessels, whose median build year is 1979 and which range from 1977 to 1981. That places this hull’s registration in the same part of the series, consistent with its recorded build year of 1980.
Its IMO number, 7717171, carries its own check digit. The first six digits are weighted seven down to two and summed — 7×7 + 7×6 + 1×5 + 7×4 + 1×3 + 7×2 = 141 — and the last digit of that total, 1, must equal the seventh digit, 1. It does, so this number is well formed.
