In brief
MV Hebrides (Scottish Gaelic: Innse Gall) is an inter-island ferry operating in Scotland, owned by Caledonian Maritime Assets, a Scottish government corporation, and operated by its subsidiary Caledonian MacBrayne. She entered service in the Hebrides in 2001, operating on the "Uig Triangle" from Uig on the Isle of Skye to Lochmaddy and Tarbert, the main settlements of North Uist and Harris respectively. She has spent most of her career operating on the Uig Triangle, with occasional stints relieving other vessels on different routes. She is the third vessel to bear the name of the islands she serves.

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 5,506 gross tons, Hebrides is the 43,099th largest of the 84,014 vessels in this registry that report a tonnage. The median across that set is 5,994 GT. The largest measures 499,167 GT.
Among the 58,086 vessels this registry holds no type classification for held here, it ranks 24,657th by tonnage — larger than 50% of that group. Their median tonnage is 5,358 GT, and the largest tenth begin at 54,309 GT. The flag most often flown by this group is Panama (5,698 ships). The yard that appears most often against it is HD Hyundai Mipo, with 615 hulls on record.
United Kingdom is the country of registry for 2,394 vessels in this directory, of which Hebrides is the 594th largest by tonnage. The most common class under that flag is vessels this registry holds no type classification for (1,835 ships), and the median vessel measures 2,515 GT. Browse every ship flagged United Kingdom.
Narrowing to both dimensions at once, this registry holds 1,835 vessels this registry holds no type classification for flying the United Kingdom flag, of which 375 are larger by tonnage.
Hebrides was built in 2001, making it 25 years old. It is one of 1,268 hulls in this registry delivered that year, a cohort whose median tonnage is 14,062 GT; within it this ship is the 724th 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 61 vessels to Ferguson Marine, with a median tonnage of 2,181 GT, delivered between 1939 and 2016. See the rest of that yard’s output.
At 99.0 m overall, Hebrides is 16.0 m shorter than the 115.0 m median for vessels this registry holds no type classification for on record, with a beam of 15.8 m and a draft of 3.2 m.
IMO numbers are issued in broadly chronological blocks. Within 500 either side of 9211975 this registry holds 66 other vessels, whose median build year is 2000 and which range from 1999 to 2002. That places this hull’s registration in the same part of the series, consistent with its recorded build year of 2001.
Its IMO number, 9211975, carries its own check digit. The first six digits are weighted seven down to two and summed — 9×7 + 2×6 + 1×5 + 1×4 + 9×3 + 7×2 = 125 — and the last digit of that total, 5, must equal the seventh digit, 5. It does, so this number is well formed.
