Grande Senegal

At 55,700 gross tons, Grande Senegal is the 8,883rd 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 9.3 times the typical vessel on record here. The largest measures 499,167 GT.

Among the 877 ro-ros held here, it ranks 27th by tonnage — larger than 97% 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.

Grande Senegal was built in 2010, making it 16 years old. It is one of 3,028 hulls in this registry delivered that year, a cohort whose median tonnage is 20,204 GT; within it this ship is the 517th 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 144 vessels to Uljanik, with a median tonnage of 25,600 GT, delivered between 1952 and 2019. See the rest of that yard’s output.

At 211.0 m overall, Grande Senegal is 86.0 m longer than the 125.0 m median for ro-ros on record, with a beam of 36.0 m and a draft of 9.8 m.

IMO numbers are issued in broadly chronological blocks. Within 500 either side of 9377470 this registry holds 67 other vessels, whose median build year is 2007 and which range from 2005 to 2011. That places this hull’s registration in the same part of the series, consistent with its recorded build year of 2010.

Its IMO number, 9377470, carries its own check digit. The first six digits are weighted seven down to two and summed — 9×7 + 3×6 + 7×5 + 7×4 + 4×3 + 7×2 = 170 — and the last digit of that total, 0, must equal the seventh digit, 0. It does, so this number is well formed.
