In brief
MT Indiga (Russian: Индига) was an ice-strengthened product tanker that sailed under the Finnish flag in 1976–2003 and under the Russian flag in 2003–2021. After her modernization in 1994 she became the second merchant ship, after her sister ship Varzuga, to be equipped with an electric azimuth thruster called Azipod.

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 10,290 gross tons, MT Indiga is the 35,388th 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 1.7 times 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 20,075th by tonnage — larger than 60% 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.
Russia is the country of registry for 2,810 vessels in this directory, of which MT Indiga is the 142nd largest by tonnage. The most common class under that flag is vessels this registry holds no type classification for (830 ships), and the median vessel measures 2,293 GT. Browse every ship flagged Russia.
Narrowing to both dimensions at once, this registry holds 830 vessels this registry holds no type classification for flying the Russia flag, of which 40 are larger by tonnage.
MT Indiga was built in 1976, making it 50 years old. It is one of 1,812 hulls in this registry delivered that year, a cohort whose median tonnage is 4,484 GT; within it this ship is the 584th largest. Across the whole of the 1970s the registry holds 17,331 vessels, median 2,774 GT. The median build year across the entire registry is 1995.
The registry attributes 68 vessels to Nobiskrug, with a median tonnage of 4,182 GT, delivered between 1930 and 2015. See the rest of that yard’s output.
At 168.0 m overall, MT Indiga is 53.0 m longer than the 115.0 m median for vessels this registry holds no type classification for on record, with a beam of 22.2 m and a draft of 9.6 m.
IMO numbers are issued in broadly chronological blocks. Within 500 either side of 7421942 this registry holds 32 other vessels, whose median build year is 1976 and which range from 1974 to 1981. That places this hull’s registration in the same part of the series, consistent with its recorded build year of 1976.
Its IMO number, 7421942, carries its own check digit. The first six digits are weighted seven down to two and summed — 7×7 + 4×6 + 2×5 + 1×4 + 9×3 + 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.
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.
