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 97,741 gross tons, Gaselys is the 3,424th 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 16 times the typical vessel on record here. The largest measures 499,167 GT.
Among the 270 lng carriers held here, it ranks 155th by tonnage — larger than 38% of that group. Their median tonnage is 105,826 GT, and the largest tenth begin at 128,416 GT. The flag most often flown by this group is Marshall Islands (37 ships). The yard that appears most often against it is Samsung Heavy Industries, with 39 hulls on record.
France is the country of registry for 517 vessels in this directory, of which Gaselys is the 39th largest by tonnage. The most common class under that flag is vessels this registry holds no type classification for (313 ships), and the median vessel measures 2,161 GT. Browse every ship flagged France.
Narrowing to both dimensions at once, this registry holds 7 lng carriers flying the France flag, of which 1 is larger by tonnage.
Gaselys was built in 2007, making it 19 years old. It is one of 2,469 hulls in this registry delivered that year, a cohort whose median tonnage is 8,473 GT; within it this ship is the 85th 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 123 vessels to Chantiers de l'Atlantique, with a median tonnage of 63,786 GT, delivered between 1912 and 2026. See the rest of that yard’s output.
At 287.0 m overall, Gaselys is 1.0 m shorter than the 288.0 m median for lng carriers on record, with a beam of 43.5 m and a draft of 11.6 m.
IMO numbers are issued in broadly chronological blocks. Within 500 either side of 9320075 this registry holds 75 other vessels, whose median build year is 2006 and which range from 2003 to 2008. That places this hull’s registration in the same part of the series, consistent with its recorded build year of 2007.
Its IMO number, 9320075, carries its own check digit. The first six digits are weighted seven down to two and summed — 9×7 + 3×6 + 2×5 + 0×4 + 0×3 + 7×2 = 105 — and the last digit of that total, 5, must equal the seventh digit, 5. It does, so this number is well formed.

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.
