No gross tonnage is recorded for this vessel, so it cannot be ranked by size. Rank is only shown where the underlying measurement exists.

In context
How Kura 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.
Kura was built in 1960, making it 66 years old. It is one of 315 hulls in this registry delivered that year, a cohort whose median tonnage is 530 GT. 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 210 vessels to Howaldtswerke-Deutsche Werft, with a median tonnage of 30,285 GT, delivered between 1905 and 2010. See the rest of that yard’s output.
At 120.5 m overall, Kura is 7.9 m shorter than the 128.4 m median for reefers on record.
IMO numbers are issued in broadly chronological blocks. Within 500 either side of 5197846 this registry holds 8 other vessels, whose median build year is 1957 and which range from 1914 to 1961. That places this hull’s registration in the same part of the series, consistent with its recorded build year of 1960.
Its IMO number, 5197846, carries its own check digit. The first six digits are weighted seven down to two and summed — 5×7 + 1×6 + 9×5 + 7×4 + 8×3 + 4×2 = 146 — and the last digit of that total, 6, must equal the seventh digit, 6. It does, so this number is well formed.

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.
