How Friesland 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 218 gross tons, Friesland is the 80,365th 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 27 times smaller than the typical vessel on record here. The largest measures 499,167 GT.

Among the 612 research / surveys held here, it ranks 456th by tonnage — larger than 6% of that group. Their median tonnage is 2,180 GT, and the largest tenth begin at 9,452 GT. The flag most often flown by this group is United States (90 ships). The yard that appears most often against it is Wärtsilä, with 36 hulls on record.

Germany is the country of registry for 885 vessels in this directory, of which Friesland is the 584th largest by tonnage. The most common class under that flag is vessels this registry holds no type classification for (446 ships), and the median vessel measures 916 GT. Browse every ship flagged Germany.

Narrowing to both dimensions at once, this registry holds 40 research / surveys flying the Germany flag, of which 24 are larger by tonnage.

Friesland was built in 1991, making it 35 years old. It is one of 1,166 hulls in this registry delivered that year, a cohort whose median tonnage is 2,997 GT; within it this ship is the 1,069th 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.

At 31.8 m overall, Friesland is 39.2 m shorter than the 71.0 m median for research / surveys on record, with a beam of 7.9 m and a draft of 2.0 m.

IMO numbers are issued in broadly chronological blocks. Within 500 either side of 9031387 this registry holds 41 other vessels, whose median build year is 1992 and which range from 1990 to 1995. That places this hull’s registration in the same part of the series, consistent with its recorded build year of 1991.

Its IMO number, 9031387, carries its own check digit. The first six digits are weighted seven down to two and summed — 9×7 + 0×6 + 3×5 + 1×4 + 3×3 + 8×2 = 107 — and the last digit of that total, 7, must equal the seventh digit, 7. It does, so this number is well formed.
