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 33,057 gross tons, Majestic is the 17,165th 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 5.5 times the typical vessel on record here. The largest measures 499,167 GT.
Among the 1,234 ferrys held here, it ranks 40th by tonnage — larger than 96% 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.
Italy is the country of registry for 918 vessels in this directory, of which Majestic is the 178th largest by tonnage. The most common class under that flag is vessels this registry holds no type classification for (488 ships), and the median vessel measures 4,975 GT. Browse every ship flagged Italy.
Narrowing to both dimensions at once, this registry holds 97 ferrys flying the Italy flag, of which 10 are larger by tonnage.
Majestic was built in 1993, making it 33 years old. It is one of 1,073 hulls in this registry delivered that year, a cohort whose median tonnage is 3,586 GT; within it this ship is the 209th 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 36 vessels to Nuovi Cantieri Apuania, with a median tonnage of 13,219 GT, delivered between 1964 and 2013. See the rest of that yard’s output.
At 188.0 m overall, Majestic is 84.0 m longer than the 104.0 m median for ferrys on record, with a beam of 27.6 m and a draft of 6.7 m.
IMO numbers are issued in broadly chronological blocks. Within 500 either side of 9015735 this registry holds 59 other vessels, whose median build year is 1992 and which range from 1990 to 2006. That places this hull’s registration in the same part of the series, consistent with its recorded build year of 1993.
Its IMO number, 9015735, carries its own check digit. The first six digits are weighted seven down to two and summed — 9×7 + 0×6 + 1×5 + 5×4 + 7×3 + 3×2 = 115 — and the last digit of that total, 5, must equal the seventh digit, 5. It does, so this number is well formed.

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.
