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 194 gross tons, M/S Prins Carl Philip is the 81,111th 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 31 times smaller than the typical vessel on record here. The largest measures 499,167 GT.
Among the 1,234 ferrys held here, it ranks 850th by tonnage — larger than 4% of that group. Their median tonnage is 3,908 GT, and the largest tenth begin at 25,454 GT. The flag most often flown by this group is Japan (241 ships). The yard that appears most often against it is Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, with 34 hulls on record.
Sweden is the country of registry for 370 vessels in this directory, of which M/S Prins Carl Philip is the 231st largest by tonnage. The most common class under that flag is vessels this registry holds no type classification for (195 ships), and the median vessel measures 972 GT. Browse every ship flagged Sweden.
Narrowing to both dimensions at once, this registry holds 48 ferrys flying the Sweden flag, of which 33 are larger by tonnage.
M/S Prins Carl Philip was built in 1901, making it 125 years old. It is one of 34 hulls in this registry delivered that year, a cohort whose median tonnage is 2,218 GT; within it this ship is the 30th largest. Across the whole of the 1900s the registry holds 483 vessels, median 1,866 GT. The median build year across the entire registry is 1995.
The registry attributes 5 vessels to Bergsunds Mekaniska Verkstad, with a median tonnage of 194 GT, delivered between 1872 and 1916. See the rest of that yard’s output.
At 34.0 m overall, M/S Prins Carl Philip is 70.0 m shorter than the 104.0 m median for ferrys on record.
IMO numbers are issued in broadly chronological blocks. Within 500 either side of 5154222 this registry holds 11 other vessels, whose median build year is 1955 and which range from 1901 to 1962. That places this hull’s registration in the same part of the series, consistent with its recorded build year of 1901.
Its IMO number, 5154222, carries its own check digit. The first six digits are weighted seven down to two and summed — 5×7 + 1×6 + 5×5 + 4×4 + 2×3 + 2×2 = 92 — and the last digit of that total, 2, must equal the seventh digit, 2. It does, so this number is well formed.
