Open data · every figure carries its source
No gross tonnage is recorded for this vessel, so it cannot be ranked by size. Rank is only shown where the underlying measurement exists.
Vessel particulars
Every value is as recorded in the source. Blanks are values the source does not hold — none is estimated from a sister ship or a class average.

In context
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.
Japan is the country of registry for 2,663 vessels in this directory. The most common class under that flag is vessels this registry holds no type classification for (1,534 ships), and the median vessel measures 764 GT. Browse every ship flagged Japan.
Narrowing to both dimensions at once, this registry holds 241 ferrys flying the Japan flag.
Ferry Akebono was built in 2008, making it 18 years old. It is one of 2,764 hulls in this registry delivered that year, a cohort whose median tonnage is 8,971 GT. 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.
The registry attributes 104 vessels to Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, with a median tonnage of 21,438 GT, delivered between 1948 and 2020. See the rest of that yard’s output.
At 145.0 m overall, Ferry Akebono is 41.0 m longer than the 104.0 m median for ferrys on record.
IMO numbers are issued in broadly chronological blocks. Within 500 either side of 9423310 this registry holds 87 other vessels, whose median build year is 2008 and which range from 2006 to 2012. That places this hull’s registration in the same part of the series, consistent with its recorded build year of 2008.
Its IMO number, 9423310, carries its own check digit. The first six digits are weighted seven down to two and summed — 9×7 + 4×6 + 2×5 + 3×4 + 3×3 + 1×2 = 120 — and the last digit of that total, 0, must equal the seventh digit, 0. It does, so this number is well formed.

Same yard, same years
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.
