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 31,236 gross tons, MV Cape Ray is the 18,559th 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 5.2 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 10,364th by tonnage — larger than 79% 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.
United States is the country of registry for 2,278 vessels in this directory, of which MV Cape Ray is the 158th largest by tonnage. The most common class under that flag is vessels this registry holds no type classification for (977 ships), and the median vessel measures 1,706 GT. Browse every ship flagged United States.
Narrowing to both dimensions at once, this registry holds 977 vessels this registry holds no type classification for flying the United States flag, of which 59 are larger by tonnage.
MV Cape Ray was built in 1977, making it 49 years old. It is one of 1,791 hulls in this registry delivered that year, a cohort whose median tonnage is 5,622 GT; within it this ship is the 131st 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 83 vessels to Kawasaki Heavy Industries, with a median tonnage of 30,812 GT, delivered between 1930 and 2020. See the rest of that yard’s output.
At 198.0 m overall, MV Cape Ray is 83.0 m longer than the 115.0 m median for vessels this registry holds no type classification for on record, with a beam of 105.0 m and a draft of 32.0 m.
IMO numbers are issued in broadly chronological blocks. Within 500 either side of 7530810 this registry holds 53 other vessels, whose median build year is 1976 and which range from 1975 to 1979. That places this hull’s registration in the same part of the series, consistent with its recorded build year of 1977.
Its IMO number, 7530810, carries its own check digit. The first six digits are weighted seven down to two and summed — 7×7 + 5×6 + 3×5 + 0×4 + 8×3 + 1×2 = 120 — and the last digit of that total, 0, must equal the seventh digit, 0. It does, so this number is well formed.
