In context

How Moreton Bay 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.

Moreton Bay was built in 1969, making it 57 years old. It is one of 814 hulls in this registry delivered that year, a cohort whose median tonnage is 992 GT. 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.

The registry attributes 88 vessels to Blohm+Voss, with a median tonnage of 6,876 GT, delivered between 1905 and 2025. See the rest of that yard’s output.

At 227.3 m overall, Moreton Bay is 5.7 m longer than the 221.6 m median for container ships on record.

IMO numbers are issued in broadly chronological blocks. Within 500 either side of 6825880 this registry holds 18 other vessels, whose median build year is 1968 and which range from 1968 to 1969. That places this hull’s registration in the same part of the series, consistent with its recorded build year of 1969.

Its IMO number, 6825880, carries its own check digit. The first six digits are weighted seven down to two and summed — 6×7 + 8×6 + 2×5 + 5×4 + 8×3 + 8×2 = 160 — and the last digit of that total, 0, must equal the seventh digit, 0. It does, so this number is well formed.

No ship class is recorded for this vessel, so these are not asserted to be sister ships — they are contemporaries from the same builder, shown because that is what the data supports.
