How «Kugelbake» 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 1,868 gross tons, «Kugelbake» is the 58,894th 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 3.2 times smaller than the typical vessel on record here. The largest measures 499,167 GT.

Among the 877 ro-ros held here, it ranks 563rd by tonnage — larger than 30% of that group. Their median tonnage is 7,395 GT, and the largest tenth begin at 34,011 GT. The flag most often flown by this group is Italy (62 ships). The yard that appears most often against it is Flensburger Schiffbau-Gesellschaft, with 16 hulls on record.

Germany is the country of registry for 885 vessels in this directory, of which «Kugelbake» is the 275th 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 12 ro-ros flying the Germany flag, of which 2 are larger by tonnage.

«Kugelbake» was built in 2009, making it 17 years old. It is one of 2,834 hulls in this registry delivered that year, a cohort whose median tonnage is 11,673 GT; within it this ship is the 2,251st 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.

At 79.3 m overall, «Kugelbake» is 45.7 m shorter than the 125.0 m median for ro-ros on record, with a beam of 18.7 m and a draft of 3.9 m.

IMO numbers are issued in broadly chronological blocks. Within 500 either side of 9510747 this registry holds 41 other vessels, whose median build year is 2010 and which range from 2008 to 2015. That places this hull’s registration in the same part of the series, consistent with its recorded build year of 2009.

Its IMO number, 9510747, carries its own check digit. The first six digits are weighted seven down to two and summed — 9×7 + 5×6 + 1×5 + 0×4 + 7×3 + 4×2 = 127 — and the last digit of that total, 7, must equal the seventh digit, 7. It does, so this number is well formed.
