Highness

At 64,054 gross tons, Highness is the 7,192nd 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 11 times the typical vessel on record here. The largest measures 499,167 GT.

Among the 3,881 container ships held here, it ranks 1,105th by tonnage — larger than 70% of that group. Their median tonnage is 33,698 GT, and the largest tenth begin at 140,096 GT. The flag most often flown by this group is Liberia (498 ships). The yard that appears most often against it is HD Hyundai Heavy Industries, with 348 hulls on record.

Highness was built in 1996, making it 30 years old. It is one of 1,254 hulls in this registry delivered that year, a cohort whose median tonnage is 7,254 GT; within it this ship is the 99th 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 1,092 vessels to HD Hyundai Heavy Industries, with a median tonnage of 65,131 GT, delivered between 1970 and 2025. See the rest of that yard’s output.

IMO numbers are issued in broadly chronological blocks. Within 500 either side of 9128166 this registry holds 67 other vessels, whose median build year is 1997 and which range from 1995 to 1999. That places this hull’s registration in the same part of the series, consistent with its recorded build year of 1996.

Its IMO number, 9128166, carries its own check digit. The first six digits are weighted seven down to two and summed — 9×7 + 1×6 + 2×5 + 8×4 + 1×3 + 6×2 = 126 — and the last digit of that total, 6, must equal the seventh digit, 6. It does, so this number is well formed.
