How Korle Lagoon compares
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 7,337 gross tons, Korle Lagoon is the 39,703rd 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 1.2 times the typical vessel on record here. The largest measures 499,167 GT.
Among the 6,242 general cargos held here, it ranks 1,096th by tonnage — larger than 80% of that group. Their median tonnage is 2,963 GT, and the largest tenth begin at 10,970 GT. The flag most often flown by this group is Panama (565 ships). The yard that appears most often against it is Cestné a Stavebné Mechanizmy Tisovec, with 137 hulls on record.
Ghana is the country of registry for 68 vessels in this directory, of which Korle Lagoon is the 1st largest by tonnage. The most common class under that flag is vessels this registry holds no type classification for (54 ships), and the median vessel measures 492 GT. Browse every ship flagged Ghana.
Korle Lagoon was built in 1964, making it 62 years old. It is one of 309 hulls in this registry delivered that year, a cohort whose median tonnage is 909 GT; within it this ship is the 13th largest. Across the whole of the 1960s the registry holds 4,074 vessels, median 844 GT. The median build year across the entire registry is 1995.
The registry attributes 124 vessels to Swan Hunter, with a median tonnage of 6,944 GT, delivered between 1903 and 2006. See the rest of that yard’s output.
At 138.5 m overall, Korle Lagoon is 37.5 m longer than the 101.0 m median for general cargos on record, with a beam of 19.1 m and a draft of 8.4 m.
IMO numbers are issued in broadly chronological blocks. Within 500 either side of 6413431 this registry holds 15 other vessels, whose median build year is 1964 and which range from 1943 to 1965. That places this hull’s registration in the same part of the series, consistent with its recorded build year of 1964.
Its IMO number, , carries its own check digit. The first six digits are weighted seven down to two and summed — = 101 — and the last digit of that total, 1, must equal the seventh digit, 1. It does, so this number is well formed.
