MOL Ingenuity

At 50,204 gross tons, MOL Ingenuity is the 9,943rd 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 8.4 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 5,378th by tonnage — larger than 89% 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.

MOL Ingenuity was built in 1992, making it 34 years old. It is one of 1,130 hulls in this registry delivered that year, a cohort whose median tonnage is 3,228 GT; within it this ship is the 127th 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 253 vessels to Japan Marine United Corporation, with a median tonnage of 43,291 GT, delivered between 1954 and 2024. See the rest of that yard’s output.

At 292.1 m overall, MOL Ingenuity is 177.1 m longer than the 115.0 m median for vessels this registry holds no type classification for on record.

IMO numbers are issued in broadly chronological blocks. Within 500 either side of 9006631 this registry holds 66 other vessels, whose median build year is 1992 and which range from 1990 to 1995. That places this hull’s registration in the same part of the series, consistent with its recorded build year of 1992.

Its IMO number, 9006631, carries its own check digit. The first six digits are weighted seven down to two and summed — 9×7 + 0×6 + 0×5 + 6×4 + 6×3 + 3×2 = 111 — and the last digit of that total, 1, must equal the seventh digit, 1. It does, so this number is well formed.
