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 55,493 gross tons, IMO 9250220 is the 8,901st 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 9.3 times the typical vessel on record here. The largest measures 499,167 GT.
Among the 485 car carriers held here, it ranks 201st by tonnage — larger than 56% 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.
Panama is the country of registry for 9,598 vessels in this directory, of which IMO 9250220 is the 1,261st largest by tonnage. The most common class under that flag is vessels this registry holds no type classification for (5,698 ships), and the median vessel measures 18,203 GT. Browse every ship flagged Panama.
Narrowing to both dimensions at once, this registry holds 132 car carriers flying the Panama flag, of which 54 are larger by tonnage.
IMO 9250220 was built in 2002, making it 24 years old. It is one of 1,298 hulls in this registry delivered that year, a cohort whose median tonnage is 12,563 GT; within it this ship is the 177th 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 337 vessels to Imabari Shipbuilding Marugame Headquarters, with a median tonnage of 39,738 GT, delivered between 1977 and 2023. See the rest of that yard’s output.
At 199.9 m overall, IMO 9250220 is 6.0 m longer than the 193.9 m median for car carriers on record.
IMO numbers are issued in broadly chronological blocks. Within 500 either side of 9250220 this registry holds 64 other vessels, whose median build year is 2002 and which range from 2000 to 2006. That places this hull’s registration in the same part of the series, consistent with its recorded build year of 2002.
Its IMO number, 9250220, carries its own check digit. The first six digits are weighted seven down to two and summed — 9×7 + 2×6 + 5×5 + 0×4 + 2×3 + 2×2 = 110 — and the last digit of that total, 0, must equal the seventh digit, 0. It does, so this number is well formed.
