In context
How N Discovery 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 24,195 gross tons, N Discovery is the 23,529th 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 4.0 times the typical vessel on record here. The largest measures 499,167 GT.
Among the 6,890 bulk carriers held here, it ranks 4,386th by tonnage — larger than 32% of that group. Their median tonnage is 32,837 GT, and the largest tenth begin at 85,849 GT. The flag most often flown by this group is Panama (1,548 ships). The yard that appears most often against it is Oshima Shipbuilding, with 337 hulls on record.
Malta is the country of registry for 2,640 vessels in this directory, of which N Discovery is the 1,194th largest by tonnage. The most common class under that flag is vessels this registry holds no type classification for (1,614 ships), and the median vessel measures 23,204 GT. Browse every ship flagged Malta.
Narrowing to both dimensions at once, this registry holds 327 bulk carriers flying the Malta flag, of which 189 are larger by tonnage.
N Discovery was built in 2012, making it 14 years old. It is one of 2,747 hulls in this registry delivered that year, a cohort whose median tonnage is 23,456 GT; within it this ship is the 1,278th 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.
At 190.0 m overall, N Discovery is within a metre of the 190.0 m median length for bulk carriers on record.
IMO numbers are issued in broadly chronological blocks. Within 500 either side of 9595967 this registry holds 67 other vessels, whose median build year is 2012 and which range from 2010 to 2020. That places this hull’s registration in the same part of the series, consistent with its recorded build year of 2012.
Its IMO number, 9595967, carries its own check digit. The first six digits are weighted seven down to two and summed — = 197 — and the last digit of that total, 7, must equal the seventh digit, 7. It does, so this number is well formed.
