In brief
Zhen Hua 33 is a Chinese-flagged semi-submersible heavy-lift ship designed to carry large cargo, including other vessels and offshore rigs, on her 185 m × 43 m (607 ft × 141 ft) cargo deck.
In early 2020, Zhen Hua 33 became semi-famous in Sweden for carrying Guldbron to replace the old traffic interchange at Slussen in Stockholm, manufactured by China Railway Shanhaiguan Bridge Group on behalf of Skanska, the contractors for the remodelled Slussen. The 140 m (460 ft) long, 3,700 t (3,600 long tons; 4,100 short tons) bridge was intended to travel from China to Sweden in around seven weeks, arriving in mid-February 2020, but was delayed off the coast of Spain for almost a month due to bad weather in the Atlantic Ocean. She was eventually able to continue towards Sweden at the beginning of March, and arrived in Stockholm on 11 March 2020.

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 43,788 gross tons, MS Zhen Hua 33 is the 11,726th 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 7.3 times the typical vessel on record here. The largest measures 499,167 GT.
Among the 6,242 general cargos held here, it ranks 32nd by tonnage — larger than 99% of that group. Their median tonnage is 2,963 GT, and the largest tenth begin at 10,970 GT. The flag most often flown by this group is Panama (565 ships). The yard that appears most often against it is Cestné a Stavebné Mechanizmy Tisovec, with 137 hulls on record.
People's Republic of China is the country of registry for 3,427 vessels in this directory, of which MS Zhen Hua 33 is the 162nd largest by tonnage. The most common class under that flag is vessels this registry holds no type classification for (1,851 ships), and the median vessel measures 10,532 GT. Browse every ship flagged People's Republic of China.
Narrowing to both dimensions at once, this registry holds 205 general cargos flying the People's Republic of China flag, of which none is larger than MS Zhen Hua 33.
MS Zhen Hua 33 was built in 2017, making it 9 years old. It is one of 1,468 hulls in this registry delivered that year, a cohort whose median tonnage is 26,213 GT; within it this ship is the 409th 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 1 vessels to ZPMC, Nantong, China, with a median tonnage of 43,788 GT, delivered between 2017 and 2017. See the rest of that yard’s output.
At 227.0 m overall, MS Zhen Hua 33 is 126.0 m longer than the 101.0 m median for general cargos on record, with a beam of 43.0 m and a draft of 7.6 m.
IMO numbers are issued in broadly chronological blocks. Within 500 either side of 9808223 this registry holds 37 other vessels, whose median build year is 2018 and which range from 2016 to 2020. That places this hull’s registration in the same part of the series, consistent with its recorded build year of 2017.
Its IMO number, 9808223, carries its own check digit. The first six digits are weighted seven down to two and summed — 9×7 + 8×6 + 0×5 + 8×4 + 2×3 + 2×2 = 153 — and the last digit of that total, 3, must equal the seventh digit, 3. It does, so this number is well formed.
