How Merkur II 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.

At 102 gross tons, Merkur II is the 83,675th 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 59 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 49,455th by tonnage — larger than 0% 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.

Germany is the country of registry for 885 vessels in this directory, of which Merkur II is the 684th largest by tonnage. The most common class under that flag is vessels this registry holds no type classification for (446 ships), and the median vessel measures 916 GT. Browse every ship flagged Germany.

Narrowing to both dimensions at once, this registry holds 446 vessels this registry holds no type classification for flying the Germany flag, of which 316 are larger by tonnage.

Merkur II was built in 1967, making it 59 years old. It is one of 496 hulls in this registry delivered that year, a cohort whose median tonnage is 757 GT; within it this ship is the 268th largest. Across the whole of the 1960s the registry holds 4,074 vessels, median 844 GT. The median build year across the entire registry is 1995.

At 28.5 m overall, Merkur II is 86.5 m shorter than the 115.0 m median for vessels this registry holds no type classification for on record, with a beam of 5.6 m and a draft of 1.6 m.

IMO numbers are issued in broadly chronological blocks. Within 500 either side of 8738108 this registry holds 16 other vessels, whose median build year is 2008 and which range from 1967 to 2009. That places this hull’s registration in the same part of the series, consistent with its recorded build year of 1967.

Its IMO number, 8738108, carries its own check digit. The first six digits are weighted seven down to two and summed — 8×7 + 7×6 + 3×5 + 8×4 + 1×3 + 0×2 = 148 — and the last digit of that total, 8, must equal the seventh digit, 8. It does, so this number is well formed.
