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 52,907 gross tons, GNV Aurora is the 9,266th 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 8.8 times the typical vessel on record here. The largest measures 499,167 GT.
Among the 877 ro-ros held here, it ranks 32nd by tonnage — larger than 96% 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.
Italy is the country of registry for 918 vessels in this directory, of which GNV Aurora is the 88th largest by tonnage. The most common class under that flag is vessels this registry holds no type classification for (488 ships), and the median vessel measures 4,975 GT. Browse every ship flagged Italy.
Narrowing to both dimensions at once, this registry holds 62 ro-ros flying the Italy flag, of which 6 are larger by tonnage.
GNV Aurora was built in 2026, making it 0 years old. It is one of 26 hulls in this registry delivered that year, a cohort whose median tonnage is 25,578 GT; within it this ship is the 3rd largest. Across the whole of the 2020s the registry holds 1,769 vessels, median 29,777 GT. The median build year across the entire registry is 1995.
The registry attributes 305 vessels to CSSC Offshore & Marine Engineering Company, with a median tonnage of 28,891 GT, delivered between 1974 and 2026. See the rest of that yard’s output.
At 218.0 m overall, GNV Aurora is 93.0 m longer than the 125.0 m median for ro-ros on record.
IMO numbers are issued in broadly chronological blocks. Within 500 either side of 9980069 this registry holds 5 other vessels, whose median build year is 2024 and which range from 2022 to 2026. That places this hull’s registration in the same part of the series, consistent with its recorded build year of 2026.
Its IMO number, 9980069, carries its own check digit. The first six digits are weighted seven down to two and summed — 9×7 + 9×6 + 8×5 + 0×4 + 0×3 + 6×2 = 169 — and the last digit of that total, 9, must equal the seventh digit, 9. It does, so this number is well formed.
