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 18,346 gross tons, MV Ocean Star Pacific is the 27,735th 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 3.1 times the typical vessel on record here. The largest measures 499,167 GT.
Among the 665 cruise ships held here, it ranks 342nd by tonnage — larger than 32% of that group. Their median tonnage is 43,009 GT, and the largest tenth begin at 143,289 GT. The flag most often flown by this group is The Bahamas (133 ships). The yard that appears most often against it is Fincantieri, with 112 hulls on record.
Saint Kitts and Nevis is the country of registry for 545 vessels in this directory, of which MV Ocean Star Pacific is the 164th largest by tonnage. The most common class under that flag is vessels this registry holds no type classification for (324 ships), and the median vessel measures 10,964 GT. Browse every ship flagged Saint Kitts and Nevis.
Narrowing to both dimensions at once, this registry holds 5 cruise ships flying the Saint Kitts and Nevis flag, of which 2 are larger by tonnage.
MV Ocean Star Pacific was built in 1971, making it 55 years old. It is one of 1,927 hulls in this registry delivered that year, a cohort whose median tonnage is 2,462 GT; within it this ship is the 194th 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 118 vessels to Wärtsilä, with a median tonnage of 14,058 GT, delivered between 1938 and 1998. See the rest of that yard’s output.
At 194.3 m overall, MV Ocean Star Pacific is 3.8 m shorter than the 198.1 m median for cruise ships on record, with a beam of 24.0 m and a draft of 6.7 m.
IMO numbers are issued in broadly chronological blocks. Within 500 either side of 7027411 this registry holds 48 other vessels, whose median build year is 1970 and which range from 1933 to 1971. That places this hull’s registration in the same part of the series, consistent with its recorded build year of 1971.
Its IMO number, 7027411, carries its own check digit. The first six digits are weighted seven down to two and summed — 7×7 + 0×6 + 2×5 + 7×4 + 4×3 + 1×2 = 101 — and the last digit of that total, 1, must equal the seventh digit, 1. It does, so this number is well formed.

Same yard, same years
No ship class is recorded for this vessel, so these are not asserted to be sister ships — they are contemporaries from the same builder, shown because that is what the data supports.
