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 164,325 gross tons, Neptune 1 is the 460th 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 27 times the typical vessel on record here. The largest measures 499,167 GT.
Among the 6,890 bulk carriers held here, it ranks 23rd by tonnage — larger than 100% 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.
Comoros is the country of registry for 506 vessels in this directory, of which Neptune 1 is the 2nd largest by tonnage. The most common class under that flag is vessels this registry holds no type classification for (295 ships), and the median vessel measures 8,205 GT. Browse every ship flagged Comoros.
Narrowing to both dimensions at once, this registry holds 37 bulk carriers flying the Comoros flag, of which none is larger than Neptune 1.
Neptune 1 was built in 1993, making it 33 years old. It is one of 1,073 hulls in this registry delivered that year, a cohort whose median tonnage is 3,586 GT; within it this ship is the 2nd largest. Across the whole of the 1990s the registry holds 12,006 vessels, median 4,956 GT. The median build year across the entire registry is 1995.
The registry attributes 170 vessels to Mitsubishi Heavy Industries Kobe Shipyard & Machinery Works, with a median tonnage of 52,863 GT, delivered between 1954 and 2011. See the rest of that yard’s output.
At 332.0 m overall, Neptune 1 is 142.0 m longer than the 190.0 m median for bulk carriers on record.
IMO numbers are issued in broadly chronological blocks. Within 500 either side of 9030943 this registry holds 53 other vessels. That places this hull’s registration in the same part of the series.
Record
Events recorded against this vessel in the source, with the dates the source gives. An event with no date is listed last rather than assigned one.
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.

Measurements
Its IMO number, 9030943, carries its own check digit. The first six digits are weighted seven down to two and summed — 9×7 + 0×6 + 3×5 + 0×4 + 9×3 + 4×2 = 113 — and the last digit of that total, 3, must equal the seventh digit, 3. It does, so this number is well formed.
