Nave Equinox

At 30,119 gross tons, Nave Equinox is the 19,195th 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 5.0 times the typical vessel on record here. The largest measures 499,167 GT.

Among the 2,402 tankers held here, it ranks 288th by tonnage — larger than 87% of that group. Their median tonnage is 8,256 GT, and the largest tenth begin at 42,340 GT. The flag most often flown by this group is Panama (219 ships). The yard that appears most often against it is HD Hyundai Mipo, with 175 hulls on record.

Nave Equinox was built in 2007, making it 19 years old. It is one of 2,469 hulls in this registry delivered that year, a cohort whose median tonnage is 8,473 GT; within it this ship is the 610th 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 118 vessels to STX Offshore & Shipbuilding, with a median tonnage of 32,968 GT, delivered between 2002 and 2019. See the rest of that yard’s output.

IMO numbers are issued in broadly chronological blocks. Within 500 either side of 9351634 this registry holds 65 other vessels, whose median build year is 2007 and which range from 2005 to 2010. That places this hull’s registration in the same part of the series, consistent with its recorded build year of 2007.

Its IMO number, 9351634, carries its own check digit. The first six digits are weighted seven down to two and summed — 9×7 + 3×6 + 5×5 + 1×4 + 6×3 + 3×2 = 134 — and the last digit of that total, 4, must equal the seventh digit, 4. It does, so this number is well formed.
