In context
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.

Among the 485 car carriers held here, it ranks 288th by tonnage — larger than 38% of that group. Their median tonnage is 49,792 GT, and the largest tenth begin at 68,871 GT. The flag most often flown by this group is Panama (132 ships). The yard that appears most often against it is Shin Kurushima Dockyard, with 41 hulls on record.

Same yard, same years
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.

Measurements
Its IMO number, 8020941, carries its own check digit. The first six digits are weighted seven down to two and summed — 8×7 + 0×6 + 2×5 + 0×4 + 9×3 + 4×2 = 101 — and the last digit of that total, 1, must equal the seventh digit, 1. It does, so this number is well formed.
