How Kuo Long 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 18,826 gross tons, Kuo Long is the 27,423rd 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 3.1 times the typical vessel on record here. The largest measures 499,167 GT.
Among the 3,881 container ships held here, it ranks 2,397th by tonnage — larger than 35% of that group. Their median tonnage is 33,698 GT, and the largest tenth begin at 140,096 GT. The flag most often flown by this group is Liberia (498 ships). The yard that appears most often against it is HD Hyundai Heavy Industries, with 348 hulls on record.
Hong Kong is the country of registry for 2,385 vessels in this directory, of which Kuo Long is the 1,781st largest by tonnage. The most common class under that flag is vessels this registry holds no type classification for (1,478 ships), and the median vessel measures 33,042 GT. Browse every ship flagged Hong Kong.
Narrowing to both dimensions at once, this registry holds 186 container ships flying the Hong Kong flag, of which 146 are larger by tonnage.
Kuo Long was built in 2017, making it 9 years old. It is one of 1,468 hulls in this registry delivered that year, a cohort whose median tonnage is 26,213 GT; within it this ship is the 837th largest. Across the whole of the 2010s the registry holds 20,111 vessels, median 23,456 GT. The median build year across the entire registry is 1995.
At 169.9 m overall, Kuo Long is 51.7 m shorter than the 221.6 m median for container ships on record and a draft of 9.5 m.
IMO numbers are issued in broadly chronological blocks. Within 500 either side of 9796509 this registry holds 57 other vessels, whose median build year is 2017 and which range from 1970 to 2021. That places this hull’s registration in the same part of the series, consistent with its recorded build year of 2017.
Its IMO number, 9796509, carries its own check digit. The first six digits are weighted seven down to two and summed — = 189 — and the last digit of that total, 9, must equal the seventh digit, 9. It does, so this number is well formed.
