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 10,243 gross tons, MS Lodbrog is the 35,423rd 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 1.7 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 20,101st by tonnage — larger than 60% 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.
France is the country of registry for 517 vessels in this directory, of which MS Lodbrog is the 134th largest by tonnage. The most common class under that flag is vessels this registry holds no type classification for (313 ships), and the median vessel measures 2,161 GT. Browse every ship flagged France.
Narrowing to both dimensions at once, this registry holds 313 vessels this registry holds no type classification for flying the France flag, of which 55 are larger by tonnage.
MS Lodbrog was built in 1985, making it 41 years old. It is one of 1,312 hulls in this registry delivered that year, a cohort whose median tonnage is 4,782 GT; within it this ship is the 494th largest. Across the whole of the 1980s the registry holds 13,213 vessels, median 3,004 GT. The median build year across the entire registry is 1995.
The registry attributes 229 vessels to Meyer Wismar, with a median tonnage of 16,994 GT, delivered between 1957 and 2021. See the rest of that yard’s output.
At 140.0 m overall, MS Lodbrog is 25.0 m longer than the 115.0 m median for vessels this registry holds no type classification for on record, with a beam of 21.0 m.
IMO numbers are issued in broadly chronological blocks. Within 500 either side of 8306591 this registry holds 56 other vessels, whose median build year is 1984 and which range from 1983 to 1989. That places this hull’s registration in the same part of the series, consistent with its recorded build year of 1985.
Its IMO number, 8306591, carries its own check digit. The first six digits are weighted seven down to two and summed — 8×7 + 3×6 + 0×5 + 6×4 + 5×3 + 9×2 = 131 — and the last digit of that total, 1, must equal the seventh digit, 1. It does, so this number is well formed.
