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 215 gross tons, IMO 9502233 is the 80,448th 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 28 times smaller than the typical vessel on record here. The largest measures 499,167 GT.
Among the 611 naval / patrols held here, it ranks 239th by tonnage — larger than 10% of that group. Their median tonnage is 1,325 GT, and the largest tenth begin at 23,606 GT. The flag most often flown by this group is United States (136 ships). The yard that appears most often against it is Austal, with 33 hulls on record.
Germany is the country of registry for 885 vessels in this directory, of which IMO 9502233 is the 590th largest by tonnage. The most common class under that flag is vessels this registry holds no type classification for (446 ships), and the median vessel measures 916 GT. Browse every ship flagged Germany.
Narrowing to both dimensions at once, this registry holds 30 naval / patrols flying the Germany flag, of which 14 are larger by tonnage.
IMO 9502233 was built in 2008, making it 18 years old. It is one of 2,764 hulls in this registry delivered that year, a cohort whose median tonnage is 8,971 GT; within it this ship is the 2,654th 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 53 vessels to Fassmer, with a median tonnage of 279 GT, delivered between 1982 and 2023. See the rest of that yard’s output.
At 34.3 m overall, IMO 9502233 is 52.2 m shorter than the 86.5 m median for naval / patrols on record, with a beam of 7.5 m and a draft of 2.0 m.
IMO numbers are issued in broadly chronological blocks. Within 500 either side of 9502233 this registry holds 57 other vessels, whose median build year is 2009 and which range from 2007 to 2018. That places this hull’s registration in the same part of the series, consistent with its recorded build year of 2008.
Its IMO number, 9502233, carries its own check digit. The first six digits are weighted seven down to two and summed — 9×7 + 5×6 + 0×5 + 2×4 + 2×3 + 3×2 = 113 — and the last digit of that total, 3, must equal the seventh digit, 3. It does, so this number is well formed.
