Fjell

At 15,751 gross tons, Fjell is the 30,372nd 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 2.6 times the typical vessel on record here. The largest measures 499,167 GT.

Among the 58,086 vessels this registry holds no type classification for held here, it ranks 17,031st by tonnage — larger than 66% of that group. Their median tonnage is 5,358 GT, and the largest tenth begin at 54,309 GT. The flag most often flown by this group is Panama (5,698 ships). The yard that appears most often against it is HD Hyundai Mipo, with 615 hulls on record.

Fjell was built in 2000, making it 26 years old. It is one of 1,296 hulls in this registry delivered that year, a cohort whose median tonnage is 8,737 GT; within it this ship is the 526th 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.

The registry attributes 241 vessels to CSC Jinling, with a median tonnage of 25,609 GT, delivered between 1996 and 2020. See the rest of that yard’s output.

At 145.8 m overall, Fjell is 30.8 m longer than the 115.0 m median for vessels this registry holds no type classification for on record.

IMO numbers are issued in broadly chronological blocks. Within 500 either side of 8766296 this registry holds 20 other vessels, whose median build year is 1997 and which range from 1973 to 2000. That places this hull’s registration in the same part of the series, consistent with its recorded build year of 2000.

Its IMO number, 8766296, carries its own check digit. The first six digits are weighted seven down to two and summed — 8×7 + 7×6 + 6×5 + 6×4 + 2×3 + 9×2 = 176 — and the last digit of that total, 6, must equal the seventh digit, 6. It does, so this number is well formed.
