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 27,225 gross tons, Hong Master is the 21,584th 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 4.5 times the typical vessel on record here. The largest measures 499,167 GT.
Among the 6,242 general cargos held here, it ranks 101st by tonnage — larger than 98% of that group. Their median tonnage is 2,963 GT, and the largest tenth begin at 10,970 GT. The flag most often flown by this group is Panama (565 ships). The yard that appears most often against it is Cestné a Stavebné Mechanizmy Tisovec, with 137 hulls on record.
Liberia is the country of registry for 4,741 vessels in this directory, of which Hong Master is the 2,753rd largest by tonnage. The most common class under that flag is vessels this registry holds no type classification for (2,739 ships), and the median vessel measures 32,983 GT. Browse every ship flagged Liberia.

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.

IMO numbers are issued in broadly chronological blocks. Within 500 either side of 9039547 this registry holds 43 other vessels. That places this hull’s registration in the same part of the series.
Same yard, same years
No ship class is recorded for this vessel, so these are not asserted to be sister ships — they are contemporaries from the same builder, shown because that is what the data supports.

Measurements
Its IMO number, 9039547, carries its own check digit. The first six digits are weighted seven down to two and summed — 9×7 + 0×6 + 3×5 + 9×4 + 5×3 + 4×2 = 137 — and the last digit of that total, 7, must equal the seventh digit, 7. It does, so this number is well formed.
