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 991 gross tons, «Fugro Commander» is the 66,158th 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 6.0 times smaller than the typical vessel on record here. The largest measures 499,167 GT.
Among the 612 research / surveys held here, it ranks 337th by tonnage — larger than 30% 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.
Panama is the country of registry for 9,598 vessels in this directory, of which «Fugro Commander» is the 8,796th 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 19 research / surveys flying the Panama flag, of which 11 are larger by tonnage.
«Fugro Commander» was built in 1982, making it 44 years old. It is one of 1,706 hulls in this registry delivered that year, a cohort whose median tonnage is 3,592 GT; within it this ship is the 1,206th largest. Across the whole of the 1980s the registry holds 13,213 vessels, median 3,004 GT. The median build year across the entire registry is 1995.
The registry attributes 91 vessels to Damen Shipyards Bergum, with a median tonnage of 2,545 GT, delivered between 1982 and 2017. See the rest of that yard’s output.
At 56.0 m overall, «Fugro Commander» is 15.0 m shorter than the 71.0 m median for research / surveys on record, with a beam of 11.8 m and a draft of 3.6 m.
IMO numbers are issued in broadly chronological blocks. Within 500 either side of 8109266 this registry holds 40 other vessels, whose median build year is 1982 and which range from 1981 to 1985. That places this hull’s registration in the same part of the series, consistent with its recorded build year of 1982.
Its IMO number, 8109266, carries its own check digit. The first six digits are weighted seven down to two and summed — 8×7 + 1×6 + 0×5 + 9×4 + 2×3 + 6×2 = 116 — and the last digit of that total, 6, must equal the seventh digit, 6. It does, so this number is well formed.
