In context

How Falksea 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 2,999 gross tons, Falksea is the 51,522nd 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 2.0 times smaller than the typical vessel on record here. The largest measures 499,167 GT.

Among the 6,242 general cargos held here, it ranks 2,585th by tonnage — larger than 53% of that group. Their median tonnage is 2,963 GT, and the largest tenth begin at 10,970 GT. The flag most often flown by this group is Panama (565 ships). The yard that appears most often against it is Cestné a Stavebné Mechanizmy Tisovec, with 137 hulls on record.

Netherlands is the country of registry for 1,546 vessels in this directory, of which Falksea is the 597th largest by tonnage. The most common class under that flag is vessels this registry holds no type classification for (839 ships), and the median vessel measures 2,810 GT. Browse every ship flagged Netherlands.

Narrowing to both dimensions at once, this registry holds 152 general cargos flying the Netherlands flag, of which 80 are larger by tonnage.

Falksea was built in 2002, making it 24 years old. It is one of 1,298 hulls in this registry delivered that year, a cohort whose median tonnage is 12,563 GT; within it this ship is the 860th largest. Across the whole of the 2000s the registry holds 18,605 vessels, median 9,957 GT. The median build year across the entire registry is 1995.

At 89.0 m overall, Falksea is 12.0 m shorter than the 101.0 m median for general cargos on record and a draft of 6.3 m.

IMO numbers are issued in broadly chronological blocks. Within 500 either side of 9250426 this registry holds 62 other vessels, whose median build year is 2002 and which range from 2000 to 2006. That places this hull’s registration in the same part of the series, consistent with its recorded build year of 2002.

Its IMO number, 9250426, carries its own check digit. The first six digits are weighted seven down to two and summed — 9×7 + 2×6 + 5×5 + 0×4 + 4×3 + 2×2 = 116 — and the last digit of that total, 6, must equal the seventh digit, 6. It does, so this number is well formed.
