How HMNZS Aotearoa 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.

New Zealand is the country of registry for 112 vessels in this directory. The most common class under that flag is vessels this registry holds no type classification for (64 ships), and the median vessel measures 551 GT. Browse every ship flagged New Zealand.

Narrowing to both dimensions at once, this registry holds 5 naval / patrols flying the New Zealand flag.

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 9816220 this registry holds 45 other vessels, whose median build year is 2018 and which range from 2016 to 2020. That places this hull’s registration in the same part of the series; no build year is recorded for this vessel itself.

Its IMO number, 9816220, carries its own check digit. The first six digits are weighted seven down to two and summed — 9×7 + 8×6 + 1×5 + 6×4 + 2×3 + 2×2 = 150 — and the last digit of that total, 0, must equal the seventh digit, 0. It does, so this number is well formed.
