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 1,863 gross tons, HOS Lode Star is the 58,945th 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 3.2 times smaller than the typical vessel on record here. The largest measures 499,167 GT.
Among the 1,423 offshore supplys held here, it ranks 750th by tonnage — larger than 45% of that group. Their median tonnage is 2,061 GT, and the largest tenth begin at 4,961 GT. The flag most often flown by this group is United States (283 ships). The yard that appears most often against it is North American Shipbuilding, with 55 hulls on record.
United States is the country of registry for 2,278 vessels in this directory, of which HOS Lode Star is the 747th largest by tonnage. The most common class under that flag is vessels this registry holds no type classification for (977 ships), and the median vessel measures 1,706 GT. Browse every ship flagged United States.
Narrowing to both dimensions at once, this registry holds 283 offshore supplys flying the United States flag, of which 136 are larger by tonnage.
HOS Lode Star was built in 2009, making it 17 years old.

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 5 vessels to Atlantic Marine, with a median tonnage of 1,863 GT, delivered between 1981 and 2009. See the rest of that yard’s output.
At 73.2 m overall, HOS Lode Star is 6.1 m longer than the 67.1 m median for offshore supplys on record, with a beam of 16.5 m and a draft of 2.4 m.
IMO numbers are issued in broadly chronological blocks. Within 500 either side of 9472440 this registry holds . 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, 9472440, carries its own check digit. The first six digits are weighted seven down to two and summed — 9×7 + 4×6 + 7×5 + 2×4 + 4×3 + 4×2 = 150 — and the last digit of that total, 0, must equal the seventh digit, 0. It does, so this number is well formed.
