How Nordstraum 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 6,768 gross tons, Nordstraum is the 40,557th largest of the 84,014 vessels in this registry that report a tonnage. The median across that set is 5,994 GT. The largest measures 499,167 GT.

Among the 2,402 tankers held here, it ranks 1,189th by tonnage — larger than 48% 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.

Norway is the country of registry for 3,032 vessels in this directory, of which Nordstraum is the 840th largest by tonnage. The most common class under that flag is vessels this registry holds no type classification for (2,126 ships), and the median vessel measures 3,102 GT. Browse every ship flagged Norway.

Narrowing to both dimensions at once, this registry holds 73 tankers flying the Norway flag, of which 47 are larger by tonnage.

Nordstraum 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 1,816th 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 50 vessels to AVIC Dingheng Shipbuilding, with a median tonnage of 11,826 GT, delivered between 2011 and 2020. See the rest of that yard’s output.

At 119.0 m overall, Nordstraum is 20.0 m shorter than the 139.0 m median for tankers on record, with a beam of 19.0 m and a draft of 7.5 m.

IMO numbers are issued in broadly chronological blocks. Within 500 either side of 9523548 this registry holds 53 other vessels, whose median build year is 2010 and which range from 2008 to 2013. That places this hull’s registration in the same part of the series, consistent with its recorded build year of 2012.

Its IMO number, 9523548, carries its own check digit. The first six digits are weighted seven down to two and summed — 9×7 + 5×6 + 2×5 + 3×4 + 5×3 + 4×2 = 138 — and the last digit of that total, 8, must equal the seventh digit, 8. It does, so this number is well formed.
