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.
At 171,959 gross tons, FPSO Girassol is the 325th 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 29 times the typical vessel on record here. The largest measures 499,167 GT.
Among the 2,402 tankers held here, it ranks 6th by tonnage — larger than 100% of that group. Their median tonnage is 8,256 GT, and the largest tenth begin at 42,340 GT. The flag most often flown by this group is Panama (219 ships). The yard that appears most often against it is HD Hyundai Mipo, with 175 hulls on record.
Panama is the country of registry for 9,598 vessels in this directory, of which FPSO Girassol is the 54th largest by tonnage. The most common class under that flag is vessels this registry holds no type classification for (5,698 ships), and the median vessel measures 18,203 GT. Browse every ship flagged Panama.
Narrowing to both dimensions at once, this registry holds 219 tankers flying the Panama flag, of which 1 is larger by tonnage.
FPSO Girassol was built in 2001, making it 25 years old. It is one of 1,268 hulls in this registry delivered that year, a cohort whose median tonnage is 14,062 GT; within it this ship is the 1st 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 1,480 vessels to HD Hyundai Mipo, with a median tonnage of 29,375 GT, delivered between 1979 and 2025. See the rest of that yard’s output.
At 300.0 m overall, FPSO Girassol is 161.0 m longer than the 139.0 m median for tankers on record.
IMO numbers are issued in broadly chronological blocks. Within 500 either side of 8764509 this registry holds 42 other vessels, whose median build year is 2000 and which range from 1996 to 2004. That places this hull’s registration in the same part of the series.
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.

Measurements
Its IMO number, 8764509, carries its own check digit. The first six digits are weighted seven down to two and summed — 8×7 + 7×6 + 6×5 + 4×4 + 5×3 + 0×2 = 159 — and the last digit of that total, 9, must equal the seventh digit, 9. It does, so this number is well formed.
