How Hercules 1 compares
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 158,475 gross tons, Hercules 1 is the 963rd 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 26 times the typical vessel on record here. The largest measures 499,167 GT.
Among the 2,402 tankers held here, it ranks 17th by tonnage — larger than 99% of that group. Their median tonnage is 8,256 GT, and the largest tenth begin at 42,340 GT. The flag most often flown by this group is Panama (219 ships). The yard that appears most often against it is HD Hyundai Mipo, with 175 hulls on record.
Panama is the country of registry for 9,598 vessels in this directory, of which Hercules 1 is the 148th largest by tonnage. The most common class under that flag is vessels this registry holds no type classification for (5,698 ships), and the median vessel measures 18,203 GT. Browse every ship flagged Panama.
Narrowing to both dimensions at once, this registry holds 219 tankers flying the Panama flag, of which 3 are larger by tonnage.
Hercules 1 was built in 1993, making it 33 years old. It is one of 1,073 hulls in this registry delivered that year, a cohort whose median tonnage is 3,586 GT; within it this ship is the 10th largest. Across the whole of the 1990s the registry holds 12,006 vessels, median 4,956 GT. The median build year across the entire registry is 1995.
The registry attributes 190 vessels to Odense Steel Shipyard, with a median tonnage of 52,186 GT, delivered between 1924 and 2012. See the rest of that yard’s output.
At 343.0 m overall, Hercules 1 is 204.0 m longer than the 139.0 m median for tankers on record.
IMO numbers are issued in broadly chronological blocks. Within 500 either side of 9002609 this registry holds 61 other vessels, whose median build year is 1992 and which range from 1989 to 1995. That places this hull’s registration in the same part of the series.
