How Fu Hua 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 27,986 gross tons, Fu Hua is the 21,240th 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 4.7 times the typical vessel on record here. The largest measures 499,167 GT.
Among the 6,890 bulk carriers held here, it ranks 3,867th by tonnage — larger than 40% of that group. Their median tonnage is 32,837 GT, and the largest tenth begin at 85,849 GT. The flag most often flown by this group is Panama (1,548 ships). The yard that appears most often against it is Oshima Shipbuilding, with 337 hulls on record.
Tuvalu is the country of registry for 239 vessels in this directory, of which Fu Hua is the 52nd largest by tonnage. The most common class under that flag is vessels this registry holds no type classification for (115 ships), and the median vessel measures 8,517 GT. Browse every ship flagged Tuvalu.
Narrowing to both dimensions at once, this registry holds 25 bulk carriers flying the Tuvalu flag, of which 6 are larger by tonnage.
Fu Hua 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 356th 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 230 vessels to Mitsui Tamano Shipyard, with a median tonnage of 31,228 GT, delivered between 1950 and 2024. See the rest of that yard’s output.
At 189.0 m overall, Fu Hua is 1.0 m shorter than the 190.0 m median for bulk carriers on record.
IMO numbers are issued in broadly chronological blocks. Within 500 either side of 9227792 this registry holds 81 other vessels, whose median build year is 2001 and which range from 2000 to 2004. That places this hull’s registration in the same part of the series.
