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.
At 111 gross tons, MS Fjordglytt is the 83,455th 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 54 times smaller than the typical vessel on record here. The largest measures 499,167 GT.
Among the 1,234 ferrys held here, it ranks 878th by tonnage — larger than 0% of that group. Their median tonnage is 3,908 GT, and the largest tenth begin at 25,454 GT. The flag most often flown by this group is Japan (241 ships). The yard that appears most often against it is Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, with 34 hulls on record.
Norway is the country of registry for 3,032 vessels in this directory, of which MS Fjordglytt is the 2,490th largest by tonnage. The most common class under that flag is vessels this registry holds no type classification for (2,126 ships), and the median vessel measures 3,102 GT. Browse every ship flagged Norway.
Narrowing to both dimensions at once, this registry holds 188 ferrys flying the Norway flag, of which 163 are larger by tonnage.
MS Fjordglytt was built in 2000, making it 26 years old. It is one of 1,296 hulls in this registry delivered that year, a cohort whose median tonnage is 8,737 GT; within it this ship is the 1,226th largest. Across the whole of the 2000s the registry holds 18,605 vessels, median 9,957 GT. The median build year across the entire registry is 1995.
The registry attributes 23 vessels to Lindstøl Skips- & Båtbyggeri, with a median tonnage of 206 GT, delivered between 1960 and 2002. See the rest of that yard’s output.
At 25.0 m overall, MS Fjordglytt is 79.0 m shorter than the 104.0 m median for ferrys on record.
IMO numbers are issued in broadly chronological blocks. Within 500 either side of 9223071 this registry holds 52 other vessels, whose median build year is 2001 and which range from 1999 to 2005. That places this hull’s registration in the same part of the series, consistent with its recorded build year of 2000.
Its IMO number, 9223071, carries its own check digit. The first six digits are weighted seven down to two and summed — 9×7 + 2×6 + 2×5 + 3×4 + 0×3 + 7×2 = 111 — and the last digit of that total, 1, must equal the seventh digit, 1. It does, so this number is well formed.
