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 59,954 gross tons, Glovis Cosmos is the 8,054th 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 10 times the typical vessel on record here. The largest measures 499,167 GT.
Among the 877 ro-ros held here, it ranks 14th by tonnage — larger than 98% of that group. Their median tonnage is 7,395 GT, and the largest tenth begin at 34,011 GT. The flag most often flown by this group is Italy (62 ships). The yard that appears most often against it is Flensburger Schiffbau-Gesellschaft, with 16 hulls on record.
Marshall Islands is the country of registry for 3,838 vessels in this directory, of which Glovis Cosmos is the 822nd largest by tonnage. The most common class under that flag is vessels this registry holds no type classification for (2,407 ships), and the median vessel measures 32,987 GT. Browse every ship flagged Marshall Islands.
Narrowing to both dimensions at once, this registry holds 5 ro-ros flying the Marshall Islands flag, of which 1 is larger by tonnage.
Glovis Cosmos was built in 2015, making it 11 years old. It is one of 1,804 hulls in this registry delivered that year, a cohort whose median tonnage is 25,303 GT; within it this ship is the 307th 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 199.9 m overall, Glovis Cosmos is 75.0 m longer than the 125.0 m median for ro-ros on record and a draft of 10.0 m.
IMO numbers are issued in broadly chronological blocks. Within 500 either side of 9707027 this registry holds 49 other vessels, whose median build year is 2015 and which range from 1959 to 2023. That places this hull’s registration in the same part of the series, consistent with its recorded build year of 2015.
Its IMO number, 9707027, carries its own check digit. The first six digits are weighted seven down to two and summed — 9×7 + 7×6 + 0×5 + 7×4 + 0×3 + 2×2 = 137 — and the last digit of that total, 7, must equal the seventh digit, 7. It does, so this number is well formed.

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.
