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 84,503 gross tons, MV Xin Guang Hua is the 5,238th 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 14 times the typical vessel on record here. The largest measures 499,167 GT.
Among the 911 rig / offshore units held here, it ranks 21st by tonnage — larger than 98% of that group. Their median tonnage is 9,254 GT, and the largest tenth begin at 51,732 GT. The flag most often flown by this group is Liberia (179 ships). The yard that appears most often against it is Hanwha Ocean, with 27 hulls on record.
Hong Kong is the country of registry for 2,385 vessels in this directory, of which MV Xin Guang Hua is the 505th largest by tonnage. The most common class under that flag is vessels this registry holds no type classification for (1,478 ships), and the median vessel measures 33,042 GT. Browse every ship flagged Hong Kong.
MV Xin Guang Hua 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 236th 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 1 vessels to Guangzhou Shipyard International, with a median tonnage of 84,503 GT, delivered between 2016 and 2016. See the rest of that yard’s output.
At 255.0 m overall, MV Xin Guang Hua is 181.0 m longer than the 74.0 m median for rig / offshore units on record, with a beam of 68.0 m and a draft of 10.0 m.
IMO numbers are issued in broadly chronological blocks. Within 500 either side of 9751573 this registry holds 38 other vessels, whose median build year is 2016 and which range from 2014 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, 9751573, carries its own check digit. The first six digits are weighted seven down to two and summed — 9×7 + 7×6 + 5×5 + 1×4 + 5×3 + 7×2 = 163 — and the last digit of that total, 3, must equal the seventh digit, 3. It does, so this number is well formed.
