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 51,819 gross tons, Gemini Leader is the 9,500th 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 8.6 times the typical vessel on record here. The largest measures 499,167 GT.
Among the 485 car carriers held here, it ranks 221st by tonnage — larger than 52% 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.
Panama is the country of registry for 9,598 vessels in this directory, of which Gemini Leader is the 1,366th largest by tonnage.

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, 9056296, carries its own check digit. The first six digits are weighted seven down to two and summed — 9×7 + 0×6 + 5×5 + 6×4 + 2×3 + 9×2 = 136 — and the last digit of that total, 6, must equal the seventh digit, 6. It does, so this number is well formed.
