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 36,815 gross tons, MV Cpl. Louis J. Hauge Jr. is the 15,116th 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 6.1 times the typical vessel on record here. The largest measures 499,167 GT.
Among the 6,242 general cargos held here, it ranks 51st by tonnage — larger than 99% of that group. Their median tonnage is 2,963 GT, and the largest tenth begin at 10,970 GT. The flag most often flown by this group is Panama (565 ships). The yard that appears most often against it is Cestné a Stavebné Mechanizmy Tisovec, with 137 hulls on record.
United States is the country of registry for 2,278 vessels in this directory, of which MV Cpl. Louis J. Hauge Jr. is the 132nd 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 121 general cargos flying the United States flag, of which 19 are larger by tonnage.
MV Cpl. Louis J. Hauge Jr. was built in 1979, making it 47 years old. It is one of 1,718 hulls in this registry delivered that year, a cohort whose median tonnage is 2,382 GT; within it this ship is the 58th 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 190 vessels to Odense Steel Shipyard, with a median tonnage of 52,186 GT, delivered between 1924 and 2012. See the rest of that yard’s output.
At 230.3 m overall, MV Cpl. Louis J. Hauge Jr. is 129.3 m longer than the 101.0 m median for general cargos on record.
IMO numbers are issued in broadly chronological blocks. Within 500 either side of 7702047 this registry holds 53 other vessels, whose median build year is 1978 and which range from 1976 to 1985. That places this hull’s registration in the same part of the series, consistent with its recorded build year of 1979.
Its IMO number, 7702047, carries its own check digit. The first six digits are weighted seven down to two and summed — 7×7 + 7×6 + 0×5 + 2×4 + 0×3 + 4×2 = 107 — and the last digit of that total, 7, must equal the seventh digit, 7. It does, so this number is well formed.
