How Neuwerk 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 3,422 gross tons, Neuwerk is the 50,130th 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 1.8 times smaller than the typical vessel on record here. The largest measures 499,167 GT.

Among the 1,085 multi-purposes held here, it ranks 424th by tonnage — larger than 55% of that group. Their median tonnage is 2,998 GT, and the largest tenth begin at 11,901 GT. The flag most often flown by this group is Netherlands (170 ships). The yard that appears most often against it is SLKB Komarno – Slovak Shipyard Komárno, with 78 hulls on record.

Germany is the country of registry for 885 vessels in this directory, of which Neuwerk is the 212th largest by tonnage. The most common class under that flag is vessels this registry holds no type classification for (446 ships), and the median vessel measures 916 GT. Browse every ship flagged Germany.

Narrowing to both dimensions at once, this registry holds 20 multi-purposes flying the Germany flag, of which 3 are larger by tonnage.

Neuwerk was built in 1998, making it 28 years old. It is one of 1,367 hulls in this registry delivered that year, a cohort whose median tonnage is 7,381 GT; within it this ship is the 851st 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 216 vessels to Volkswerft, with a median tonnage of 3,869 GT, delivered between 1955 and 2016. See the rest of that yard’s output.

At 78.9 m overall, Neuwerk is 11.1 m shorter than the 90.0 m median for multi-purposes on record, with a beam of 18.0 m and a draft of 5.8 m.

IMO numbers are issued in broadly chronological blocks. Within 500 either side of 9143984 this registry holds 78 other vessels, whose median build year is 1997 and which range from 1995 to 1999. That places this hull’s registration in the same part of the series, consistent with its recorded build year of 1998.

Its IMO number, 9143984, carries its own check digit. The first six digits are weighted seven down to two and summed — 9×7 + 1×6 + 4×5 + 3×4 + 9×3 + 8×2 = 144 — and the last digit of that total, 4, must equal the seventh digit, 4. It does, so this number is well formed.
