In context
How «Maersk Maine» 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 23,953 gross tons, «Maersk Maine» is the 23,765th 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 4.0 times the typical vessel on record here. The largest measures 499,167 GT.
Among the 3,881 container ships held here, it ranks 2,234th by tonnage — larger than 40% 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.
«Maersk Maine» was built in 1992, making it 34 years old. It is one of 1,130 hulls in this registry delivered that year, a cohort whose median tonnage is 3,228 GT; within it this ship is the 224th 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 1,092 vessels to HD Hyundai Heavy Industries, with a median tonnage of 65,131 GT, delivered between 1970 and 2025. See the rest of that yard’s output.
At 181.5 m overall, «Maersk Maine» is 40.1 m shorter than the 221.6 m median for container ships on record.
IMO numbers are issued in broadly chronological blocks. Within 500 either side of 9007831 this registry holds 63 other vessels, whose median build year is 1992 and which range from 1989 to 1996. That places this hull’s registration in the same part of the series, consistent with its recorded build year of 1992.
Its IMO number, 9007831, carries its own check digit. The first six digits are weighted seven down to two and summed — 9×7 + 0×6 + 0×5 + 7×4 + 8×3 + 3×2 = 121 — and the last digit of that total, 1, must equal the seventh digit, 1. It does, so this number is well formed.
