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 155,823 gross tons, Kibo is the 1,165th 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 26 times the typical vessel on record here. The largest measures 499,167 GT.
Among the 6,890 bulk carriers held here, it ranks 40th by tonnage — larger than 99% of that group. Their median tonnage is 32,837 GT, and the largest tenth begin at 85,849 GT. The flag most often flown by this group is Panama (1,548 ships). The yard that appears most often against it is Oshima Shipbuilding, with 337 hulls on record.
Saint Kitts and Nevis is the country of registry for 545 vessels in this directory, of which Kibo is the 4th largest by tonnage. The most common class under that flag is vessels this registry holds no type classification for (324 ships), and the median vessel measures 10,964 GT. Browse every ship flagged Saint Kitts and Nevis.
Narrowing to both dimensions at once, this registry holds 31 bulk carriers flying the Saint Kitts and Nevis flag, of which none is larger than Kibo.
Kibo was built in 1993, making it 33 years old. It is one of 1,073 hulls in this registry delivered that year, a cohort whose median tonnage is 3,586 GT; within it this ship is the 20th largest. 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.
The registry attributes 1,090 vessels to Hanwha Ocean, with a median tonnage of 84,214 GT, delivered between 1982 and 2025. See the rest of that yard’s output.
At 327.0 m overall, Kibo is 137.0 m longer than the 190.0 m median for bulk carriers on record.
IMO numbers are issued in broadly chronological blocks. Within 500 either side of 9036442 this registry holds 48 other vessels, whose median build year is 1992. That places this hull’s registration in the same part of the series.
Record
Events recorded against this vessel in the source, with the dates the source gives. An event with no date is listed last rather than assigned one.
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, 9036442, carries its own check digit. The first six digits are weighted seven down to two and summed — 9×7 + 0×6 + 3×5 + 6×4 + 4×3 + 4×2 = 122 — and the last digit of that total, 2, must equal the seventh digit, 2. It does, so this number is well formed.
