How MSC Messina 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.

Liberia is the country of registry for 4,741 vessels in this directory. The most common class under that flag is vessels this registry holds no type classification for (2,739 ships), and the median vessel measures 32,983 GT. Browse every ship flagged Liberia.

Narrowing to both dimensions at once, this registry holds 498 container ships flying the Liberia flag.

MSC Messina was built in 1995, making it 31 years old. It is one of 1,092 hulls in this registry delivered that year, a cohort whose median tonnage is 7,255 GT. Across the whole of the 1990s the registry holds 12,006 vessels, median 4,956 GT. The median build year across the entire registry is 1995.

IMO numbers are issued in broadly chronological blocks. Within 500 either side of 9074042 this registry holds 54 other vessels, whose median build year is 1994 and which range from 1992 to 1996. That places this hull’s registration in the same part of the series, consistent with its recorded build year of 1995.

Its IMO number, 9074042, carries its own check digit. The first six digits are weighted seven down to two and summed — 9×7 + 0×6 + 7×5 + 4×4 + 0×3 + 4×2 = 122 — and the last digit of that total, 2, must equal the seventh digit, 2. It does, so this number is well formed.
