How MV Finlaggan 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 5,209 gross tons, MV Finlaggan is the 43,818th 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 1,234 ferrys held here, it ranks 403rd by tonnage — larger than 54% of that group. Their median tonnage is 3,908 GT, and the largest tenth begin at 25,454 GT. The flag most often flown by this group is Japan (241 ships). The yard that appears most often against it is Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, with 34 hulls on record.

United Kingdom is the country of registry for 2,394 vessels in this directory, of which MV Finlaggan is the 632nd 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 40 ferrys flying the United Kingdom flag, of which 7 are larger by tonnage.

MV Finlaggan was built in 2011, making it 15 years old. It is one of 2,848 hulls in this registry delivered that year, a cohort whose median tonnage is 23,456 GT; within it this ship is the 2,041st largest. Across the whole of the 2010s the registry holds 20,111 vessels, median 23,456 GT. The median build year across the entire registry is 1995.

The registry attributes 63 vessels to Remontowa, with a median tonnage of 2,448 GT, delivered between 1980 and 2025. See the rest of that yard’s output.

At 89.0 m overall, MV Finlaggan is 15.0 m shorter than the 104.0 m median for ferrys on record, with a beam of 16.4 m and a draft of 3.4 m.

IMO numbers are issued in broadly chronological blocks. Within 500 either side of 9482902 this registry holds 55 other vessels, whose median build year is 2011 and which range from 2008 to 2013. That places this hull’s registration in the same part of the series, consistent with its recorded build year of 2011.

Its IMO number, 9482902, carries its own check digit. The first six digits are weighted seven down to two and summed — 9×7 + 4×6 + 8×5 + 2×4 + 9×3 + 0×2 = 162 — and the last digit of that total, 2, must equal the seventh digit, 2. It does, so this number is well formed.
