Margeyt

At 205 gross tons, Margeyt is the 80,679th 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 29 times smaller than 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 47,089th by tonnage — larger than 5% 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). The yard that appears most often against it is HD Hyundai Mipo, with 615 hulls on record.

Margeyt was built in 1990, making it 36 years old. It is one of 1,306 hulls in this registry delivered that year, a cohort whose median tonnage is 2,025 GT; within it this ship is the 1,180th 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 21 vessels to Chornomorsk shipyard, with a median tonnage of 176 GT, delivered between 1980 and 1990. See the rest of that yard’s output.

IMO numbers are issued in broadly chronological blocks. Within 500 either side of 8838518 this registry holds 16 other vessels, whose median build year is 1989 and which range from 1981 to 1991. That places this hull’s registration in the same part of the series, consistent with its recorded build year of 1990.

Its IMO number, 8838518, carries its own check digit. The first six digits are weighted seven down to two and summed — 8×7 + 8×6 + 3×5 + 8×4 + 5×3 + 1×2 = 168 — and the last digit of that total, 8, must equal the seventh digit, 8. It does, so this number is well formed.
