In brief
Waxholms Ångfartygs AB, commonly referred to as Waxholmsbolaget, is a shipping company owned by Stockholm county council and is responsible for the seaborne public transport in the Stockholm archipelago and Stockholm harbour. The company, which is mostly tax-funded, carried about 4.3 million travellers in 2003, covering a region from Arholma in north of the archipelago to Landsort in the south.
The company owns 20 archipelago boats, and four boats for the inner-city Djurgården ferry line. The operation of the ships is handled by several contractors, some of whom also operate their own ships on behalf of Waxholmsbolaget.

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 299 gross tons, M/S Vånö is the 77,971st 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 20 times smaller than the typical vessel on record here. The largest measures 499,167 GT.
Among the 1,234 ferrys held here, it ranks 801st by tonnage — larger than 9% 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 Vånö is the 189th 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 22 are larger by tonnage.
M/S Vånö was built in 1991, making it 35 years old. It is one of 1,166 hulls in this registry delivered that year, a cohort whose median tonnage is 2,997 GT; within it this ship is the 1,029th largest. Across the whole of the 1990s the registry holds 12,006 vessels, median 4,956 GT. The median build year across the entire registry is 1995.
The registry attributes 35 vessels to Oskarshamn Shipyard, with a median tonnage of 449 GT, delivered between 1868 and 1995. See the rest of that yard’s output.
At 37.7 m overall, M/S Vånö is 66.3 m shorter than the 104.0 m median for ferrys on record and a draft of 1.2 m.
IMO numbers are issued in broadly chronological blocks. Within 500 either side of 9002025 this registry holds 62 other vessels, whose median build year is 1991 and which range from 1989 to 1995. That places this hull’s registration in the same part of the series, consistent with its recorded build year of 1991.
Its IMO number, 9002025, carries its own check digit. The first six digits are weighted seven down to two and summed — 9×7 + 0×6 + 0×5 + 2×4 + 0×3 + 2×2 = 75 — and the last digit of that total, 5, must equal the seventh digit, 5. It does, so this number is well formed.

Same yard, same years
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.
