In context

How MV Lituya 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 758 gross tons, MV Lituya is the 68,583rd 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 7.9 times smaller than the typical vessel on record here. The largest measures 499,167 GT.

Among the 1,234 ferrys held here, it ranks 696th by tonnage — larger than 21% 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 States is the country of registry for 2,278 vessels in this directory, of which MV Lituya is the 1,035th 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 33 ferrys flying the United States flag, of which 21 are larger by tonnage.

MV Lituya was built in 2004, making it 22 years old. It is one of 1,485 hulls in this registry delivered that year, a cohort whose median tonnage is 17,188 GT; within it this ship is the 1,276th largest. Across the whole of the 2000s the registry holds 18,605 vessels, median 9,957 GT. The median build year across the entire registry is 1995.

The registry attributes 1 vessels to Conrad Shipyard, Morgan City, Louisiana, with a median tonnage of 758 GT, delivered between 2004 and 2004. See the rest of that yard’s output.

At 54.9 m overall, MV Lituya is 49.1 m shorter than the 104.0 m median for ferrys on record, with a beam of 50.0 m and a draft of 12.0 m.

IMO numbers are issued in broadly chronological blocks. Within 500 either side of 9283148 this registry holds 68 other vessels, whose median build year is 2004 and which range from 2002 to 2006. That places this hull’s registration in the same part of the series, consistent with its recorded build year of 2004.

Its IMO number, 9283148, carries its own check digit. The first six digits are weighted seven down to two and summed — 9×7 + 2×6 + 8×5 + 3×4 + 1×3 + 4×2 = 138 — and the last digit of that total, 8, must equal the seventh digit, 8. It does, so this number is well formed.
