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 4,987 gross tons, Leiger is the 44,528th 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 smaller than the typical vessel on record here. The largest measures 499,167 GT.
Among the 617 passenger vessels held here, it ranks 89th by tonnage — larger than 81% of that group. Their median tonnage is 909 GT, and the largest tenth begin at 9,718 GT. The flag most often flown by this group is Egypt (65 ships). The yard that appears most often against it is Meyer Werft, with 16 hulls on record.
Estonia is the country of registry for 81 vessels in this directory, of which Leiger is the 11th largest by tonnage. The most common class under that flag is vessels this registry holds no type classification for (50 ships), and the median vessel measures 916 GT. Browse every ship flagged Estonia.
Narrowing to both dimensions at once, this registry holds 9 passenger vessels flying the Estonia flag, of which none is larger than Leiger.
Leiger was built in 2016, making it 10 years old. It is one of 1,628 hulls in this registry delivered that year, a cohort whose median tonnage is 26,388 GT; within it this ship is the 1,159th 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.
The registry attributes 19 vessels to Sefine Shipyard, with a median tonnage of 4,507 GT, delivered between 2013 and 2024. See the rest of that yard’s output.
At 114.0 m overall, Leiger is 53.0 m longer than the 61.0 m median for passenger vessels on record, with a beam of 19.7 m and a draft of 4.0 m.
IMO numbers are issued in broadly chronological blocks. Within 500 either side of 9762675 this registry holds 34 other vessels, whose median build year is 2017 and which range from 2015 to 2019. That places this hull’s registration in the same part of the series, consistent with its recorded build year of 2016.
Its IMO number, 9762675, carries its own check digit. The first six digits are weighted seven down to two and summed — 9×7 + 7×6 + 6×5 + 2×4 + 6×3 + 7×2 = 175 — and the last digit of that total, 5, must equal the seventh digit, 5. It does, so this number is well formed.
