At 53,359 gross tons, Ever Racer is the 9,204th 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 8.9 times the typical vessel on record here. The largest measures 499,167 GT.

Ever Racer was built in 1994, making it 32 years old. It is one of 1,047 hulls in this registry delivered that year, a cohort whose median tonnage is 5,680 GT; within it this ship is the 81st largest. Across the whole of the 1990s the registry holds 12,006 vessels, median 4,956 GT. The median build year across the entire registry is 1995.

The registry attributes 213 vessels to Onomichi Dockyard, with a median tonnage of 28,520 GT, delivered between 1963 and 2023. See the rest of that yard’s output.

At 294.0 m overall, Ever Racer is 72.4 m longer than the 221.6 m median for container ships on record.

IMO numbers are issued in broadly chronological blocks. Within 500 either side of 9088110 this registry holds 61 other vessels, whose median build year is 1994 and which range from 1993 to 1997. That places this hull’s registration in the same part of the series, consistent with its recorded build year of 1994.

Its IMO number, 9088110, carries its own check digit. The first six digits are weighted seven down to two and summed — 9×7 + 0×6 + 8×5 + 8×4 + 1×3 + 1×2 = 140 — and the last digit of that total, 0, must equal the seventh digit, 0. It does, so this number is well formed.
