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 192,673 gross tons, FSO Safer is the 244th 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 32 times the typical vessel on record here. The largest measures 499,167 GT.
Among the 3,060 oil tankers held here, it ranks 5th by tonnage — larger than 100% of that group. Their median tonnage is 22,184 GT, and the largest tenth begin at 149,274 GT. The flag most often flown by this group is Panama (301 ships). The yard that appears most often against it is HD Hyundai Mipo, with 190 hulls on record.
Yemen is the country of registry for 21 vessels in this directory, of which FSO Safer is the 1st largest by tonnage. The most common class under that flag is vessels this registry holds no type classification for (15 ships), and the median vessel measures 648 GT. Browse every ship flagged Yemen.
Narrowing to both dimensions at once, this registry holds 2 oil tankers flying the Yemen flag, of which none is larger than FSO Safer.
FSO Safer was built in 1976, making it 50 years old. It is one of 1,812 hulls in this registry delivered that year, a cohort whose median tonnage is 4,484 GT; within it this ship is the 8th largest. Across the whole of the 1970s the registry holds 17,331 vessels, median 2,774 GT. The median build year across the entire registry is 1995.
The registry attributes 253 vessels to Japan Marine United Corporation, with a median tonnage of 43,291 GT, delivered between 1954 and 2024. See the rest of that yard’s output.
At 350.0 m overall, FSO Safer is 171.0 m longer than the 179.0 m median for oil tankers on record.
IMO numbers are issued in broadly chronological blocks. Within 500 either side of 7376472 this registry holds 38 other vessels, whose median build year is 1974 and which range from 1973 to 1977. 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, 7376472, carries its own check digit. The first six digits are weighted seven down to two and summed — 7×7 + 3×6 + 7×5 + 6×4 + 4×3 + 7×2 = 152 — and the last digit of that total, 2, must equal the seventh digit, 2. It does, so this number is well formed.
