How MV Clansman 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 5,499 gross tons, MV Clansman is the 43,117th largest of the 84,014 vessels in this registry that report a tonnage. The median across that set is 5,994 GT. The largest measures 499,167 GT.

Among the 58,086 vessels this registry holds no type classification for held here, it ranks 24,667th by tonnage — larger than 50% 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 Kingdom is the country of registry for 2,394 vessels in this directory, of which MV Clansman is the 596th largest by tonnage. The most common class under that flag is vessels this registry holds no type classification for (1,835 ships), and the median vessel measures 2,515 GT. Browse every ship flagged United Kingdom.

Narrowing to both dimensions at once, this registry holds 1,835 vessels this registry holds no type classification for flying the United Kingdom flag, of which 377 are larger by tonnage.

MV Clansman was built in 1998, making it 28 years old. It is one of 1,367 hulls in this registry delivered that year, a cohort whose median tonnage is 7,381 GT; within it this ship is the 738th largest. 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.

The registry attributes 59 vessels to Appledore Shipbuilders, with a median tonnage of 2,985 GT, delivered between 1956 and 2003. See the rest of that yard’s output.

At 99.0 m overall, MV Clansman is 16.0 m shorter than the 115.0 m median for vessels this registry holds no type classification for on record, with a beam of 15.8 m and a draft of 3.2 m.

IMO numbers are issued in broadly chronological blocks. Within 500 either side of 9158953 this registry holds 74 other vessels, whose median build year is 1997 and which range from 1996 to 2000. That places this hull’s registration in the same part of the series, consistent with its recorded build year of 1998.

Its IMO number, 9158953, carries its own check digit. The first six digits are weighted seven down to two and summed — 9×7 + 1×6 + 5×5 + 8×4 + 9×3 + 5×2 = 163 — and the last digit of that total, 3, must equal the seventh digit, 3. It does, so this number is well formed.
