How Magdeburg 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.

East Germany is the country of registry for 22 vessels in this directory. The most common class under that flag is vessels this registry holds no type classification for (16 ships), and the median vessel measures 11,042 GT. Browse every ship flagged East Germany.

Narrowing to both dimensions at once, this registry holds 3 general cargos flying the East Germany flag.

Magdeburg was built in 1958, making it 68 years old. It is one of 267 hulls in this registry delivered that year, a cohort whose median tonnage is 718 GT. Across the whole of the 1950s the registry holds 2,005 vessels, median 960 GT. The median build year across the entire registry is 1995.

The registry attributes 31 vessels to Warnowwerft Warnemünde, with a median tonnage of 16,073 GT, delivered between 1951 and 1999. See the rest of that yard’s output.

At 157.6 m overall, Magdeburg is 56.6 m longer than the 101.0 m median for general cargos on record, with a beam of 20.0 m.

Its IMO number, 5521702, carries its own check digit. The first six digits are weighted seven down to two and summed — 5×7 + 5×6 + 2×5 + 1×4 + 7×3 + 0×2 = 100 — and the last digit of that total, 0, must equal the seventh digit, 2. It does not, so this number as recorded does not validate; it is shown here as held rather than silently corrected.
