How MSC Giselle 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 91,883 gross tons, MSC Giselle is the 4,359th 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 15 times the typical vessel on record here. The largest measures 499,167 GT.
Among the 3,881 container ships held here, it ranks 703rd by tonnage — larger than 81% 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.
Panama is the country of registry for 9,598 vessels in this directory, of which MSC Giselle is the 693rd largest by tonnage. The most common class under that flag is vessels this registry holds no type classification for (5,698 ships), and the median vessel measures 18,203 GT. Browse every ship flagged Panama.
Narrowing to both dimensions at once, this registry holds 429 container ships flying the Panama flag, of which 95 are larger by tonnage.
MSC Giselle was built in 2015, making it 11 years old. It is one of 1,804 hulls in this registry delivered that year, a cohort whose median tonnage is 25,303 GT; within it this ship is the 231st 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.
At 299.8 m overall, MSC Giselle is 78.2 m longer than the 221.6 m median for container ships on record and a draft of 20.4 m.
IMO numbers are issued in broadly chronological blocks. Within 500 either side of 9720196 this registry holds 45 other vessels, whose median build year is 2015 and which range from 2013 to 2018. That places this hull’s registration in the same part of the series, consistent with its recorded build year of 2015.
Its IMO number, 9720196, carries its own check digit. The first six digits are weighted seven down to two and summed — = 136 — and the last digit of that total, 6, must equal the seventh digit, 6. It does, so this number is well formed.
