ورونا

At 37,237 gross tons, ورونا is the 14,983rd 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 6.2 times the typical vessel on record here. The largest measures 499,167 GT.

Among the 485 car carriers held here, it ranks 323rd by tonnage — larger than 30% of that group. Their median tonnage is 49,792 GT, and the largest tenth begin at 68,871 GT. The flag most often flown by this group is Panama (132 ships). The yard that appears most often against it is Shin Kurushima Dockyard, with 41 hulls on record.

ورونا was built in 2000, making it 26 years old. It is one of 1,296 hulls in this registry delivered that year, a cohort whose median tonnage is 8,737 GT; within it this ship is the 298th largest. 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 144 vessels to Uljanik, with a median tonnage of 25,600 GT, delivered between 1952 and 2019. See the rest of that yard’s output.

At 176.7 m overall, ورونا is 17.2 m shorter than the 193.9 m median for car carriers on record, with a beam of 31.1 m and a draft of 8.8 m.

IMO numbers are issued in broadly chronological blocks. Within 500 either side of 9190858 this registry holds 49 other vessels, whose median build year is 1999 and which range from 1998 to 2004. That places this hull’s registration in the same part of the series, consistent with its recorded build year of 2000.

Its IMO number, 9190858, carries its own check digit. The first six digits are weighted seven down to two and summed — 9×7 + 1×6 + 9×5 + 0×4 + 8×3 + 5×2 = 148 — and the last digit of that total, 8, must equal the seventh digit, 8. It does, so this number is well formed.
