In context

How MV Lochnevis 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 941 gross tons, MV Lochnevis is the 66,716th 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 6.4 times smaller than 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 37,606th by tonnage — larger than 24% 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 Lochnevis is the 1,343rd 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 1,004 are larger by tonnage.

MV Lochnevis was built in 2000, making it 26 years old. It is one of 1,296 hulls in this registry delivered that year, a cohort whose median tonnage is 8,737 GT; within it this ship is the 1,002nd 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 36 vessels to Ailsa Shipbuilding Company, with a median tonnage of 552 GT, delivered between 1900 and 2000. See the rest of that yard’s output.

At 49.0 m overall, MV Lochnevis is 66.0 m shorter than the 115.0 m median for vessels this registry holds no type classification for on record, with a beam of 11.4 m.

IMO numbers are issued in broadly chronological blocks. Within 500 either side of 9209063 this registry holds 47 other vessels, whose median build year is 2000 and which range from 1999 to 2005. That places this hull’s registration in the same part of the series, consistent with its recorded build year of 2000.

Its IMO number, 9209063, carries its own check digit. The first six digits are weighted seven down to two and summed — 9×7 + 2×6 + 0×5 + 9×4 + 0×3 + 6×2 = 123 — and the last digit of that total, 3, must equal the seventh digit, 3. It does, so this number is well formed.
