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 3,881 container ships held here, it ranks 1,315th by tonnage — larger than 64% of that group. Their median tonnage is 33,698 GT, and the largest tenth begin at 140,096 GT. The flag most often flown by this group is Liberia (498 ships). The yard that appears most often against it is HD Hyundai Heavy Industries, with 348 hulls on record.
Liberia is the country of registry for 4,741 vessels in this directory, of which MSC Florida is the 1,304th largest by tonnage.

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, 9236547, carries its own check digit. The first six digits are weighted seven down to two and summed — 9×7 + 2×6 + 3×5 + 6×4 + 5×3 + 4×2 = 137 — and the last digit of that total, 7, must equal the seventh digit, 7. It does, so this number is well formed.
