Mardi Gras

Mardi Gras was built in 2020, making it 6 years old. It is one of 984 hulls in this registry delivered that year, a cohort whose median tonnage is 32,720 GT. Across the whole of the 2020s the registry holds 1,769 vessels, median 29,777 GT. The median build year across the entire registry is 1995.

The registry attributes 55 vessels to Meyer Turku, with a median tonnage of 10,834 GT, delivered between 1951 and 2027. See the rest of that yard’s output.

IMO numbers are issued in broadly chronological blocks. Within 500 either side of 9837444 this registry holds 45 other vessels, whose median build year is 2019 and which range from 2017 to 2025. That places this hull’s registration in the same part of the series, consistent with its recorded build year of 2020.

Its IMO number, 9837444, carries its own check digit. The first six digits are weighted seven down to two and summed — 9×7 + 8×6 + 3×5 + 7×4 + 4×3 + 4×2 = 174 — and the last digit of that total, 4, must equal the seventh digit, 4. It does, so this number is well formed.
