How MS «Taupo» 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.

At 650 gross tons, MS «Taupo» is the 70,930th 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 9.2 times smaller than 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 39,772nd by tonnage — larger than 20% 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.

Norway is the country of registry for 3,032 vessels in this directory, of which MS «Taupo» is the 1,948th 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 2,126 vessels this registry holds no type classification for flying the Norway flag, of which 1,276 are larger by tonnage.

MS «Taupo» was built in 2019, making it 7 years old. It is one of 1,261 hulls in this registry delivered that year, a cohort whose median tonnage is 29,000 GT; within it this ship is the 1,127th largest. Across the whole of the 2010s the registry holds 20,111 vessels, median 23,456 GT. The median build year across the entire registry is 1995.

The registry attributes 31 vessels to Fitjar Mekaniske Verksted, with a median tonnage of 2,034 GT, delivered between 1999 and 2023. See the rest of that yard’s output.

At 43.0 m overall, MS «Taupo» is 72.0 m shorter 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 9836646 this registry holds 45 other vessels, whose median build year is 2019 and which range from 2017 to 2021. That places this hull’s registration in the same part of the series, consistent with its recorded build year of 2019.

Its IMO number, 9836646, carries its own check digit. The first six digits are weighted seven down to two and summed — 9×7 + 8×6 + 3×5 + 6×4 + 6×3 + 4×2 = 176 — and the last digit of that total, 6, must equal the seventh digit, 6. It does, so this number is well formed.
