At 82,908 gross tons, Maran Helios is the 5,405th 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 14 times the typical vessel on record here. The largest measures 499,167 GT.

Among the 58,086 vessels this registry holds no type classification for held here, it ranks 2,962nd by tonnage — larger than 94% of that group. Their median tonnage is 5,358 GT, and the largest tenth begin at 54,309 GT. The flag most often flown by this group is Panama (5,698 ships).

Maran Helios was built in 2017, making it 9 years old. It is one of 1,468 hulls in this registry delivered that year, a cohort whose median tonnage is 26,213 GT; within it this ship is the 215th largest. Across the whole of the 2010s the registry holds 20,111 vessels, median 23,456 GT. The median build year across the entire registry is 1995.

The registry attributes 120 vessels to Mangalia Shipyard, with a median tonnage of 44,133 GT, delivered between 1980 and 2017. See the rest of that yard’s output.

IMO numbers are issued in broadly chronological blocks. Within 500 either side of 9761358 this registry holds 34 other vessels, whose median build year is 2017 and which range from 2015 to 2020. That places this hull’s registration in the same part of the series, consistent with its recorded build year of 2017.

Its IMO number, 9761358, carries its own check digit. The first six digits are weighted seven down to two and summed — 9×7 + 7×6 + 6×5 + 1×4 + 3×3 + 5×2 = 158 — and the last digit of that total, 8, must equal the seventh digit, 8. It does, so this number is well formed.
