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 3,541 gross tons, MV Sycamore is the 49,621st 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 1.7 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 28,312th by tonnage — larger than 43% 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.
Australia is the country of registry for 466 vessels in this directory, of which MV Sycamore is the 62nd largest by tonnage. The most common class under that flag is vessels this registry holds no type classification for (351 ships), and the median vessel measures 439 GT. Browse every ship flagged Australia.
Narrowing to both dimensions at once, this registry holds 351 vessels this registry holds no type classification for flying the Australia flag, of which 32 are larger by tonnage.
MV Sycamore was built in 2016, making it 10 years old. It is one of 1,628 hulls in this registry delivered that year, a cohort whose median tonnage is 26,388 GT; within it this ship is the 1,242nd 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 100 vessels to Damen Group, with a median tonnage of 450 GT, delivered between 1964 and 2025. See the rest of that yard’s output.
At 94.0 m overall, MV Sycamore is 21.0 m shorter than the 115.0 m median for vessels this registry holds no type classification for on record, with a beam of 14.4 m.
IMO numbers are issued in broadly chronological blocks. Within 500 either side of 9758569 this registry holds 55 other vessels, whose median build year is 2016 and which range from 2015 to 2020. That places this hull’s registration in the same part of the series, consistent with its recorded build year of 2016.
Its IMO number, 9758569, carries its own check digit. The first six digits are weighted seven down to two and summed — 9×7 + 7×6 + 5×5 + 8×4 + 5×3 + 6×2 = 189 — and the last digit of that total, 9, must equal the seventh digit, 9. It does, so this number is well formed.
