G Poseidon

At 72,408 gross tons, G Poseidon is the 6,439th 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 12 times the typical vessel on record here. The largest measures 499,167 GT.

Among the 485 car carriers held here, it ranks 22nd by tonnage — larger than 95% of that group. Their median tonnage is 49,792 GT, and the largest tenth begin at 68,871 GT. The flag most often flown by this group is Panama (132 ships). The yard that appears most often against it is Shin Kurushima Dockyard, with 41 hulls on record.

G Poseidon was built in 2011, making it 15 years old. It is one of 2,848 hulls in this registry delivered that year, a cohort whose median tonnage is 23,456 GT; within it this ship is the 415th largest. Across the whole of the 2010s the registry holds 20,111 vessels, median 23,456 GT. The median build year across the entire registry is 1995.

The registry attributes 587 vessels to HD Hyundai Samho, with a median tonnage of 81,380 GT, delivered between 1995 and 2024. See the rest of that yard’s output.

At 232.4 m overall, G Poseidon is 38.5 m longer than the 193.9 m median for car carriers on record, with a beam of 32.3 m and a draft of 10.0 m.

IMO numbers are issued in broadly chronological blocks. Within 500 either side of 9445394 this registry holds 74 other vessels, whose median build year is 2009 and which range from 2007 to 2013. That places this hull’s registration in the same part of the series, consistent with its recorded build year of 2011.

Its IMO number, 9445394, carries its own check digit. The first six digits are weighted seven down to two and summed — 9×7 + 4×6 + 4×5 + 5×4 + 3×3 + 9×2 = 154 — and the last digit of that total, 4, must equal the seventh digit, 4. It does, so this number is well formed.
