Oborishte

At 20,491 gross tons, Oborishte is the 26,374th 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 3.4 times the typical vessel on record here. The largest measures 499,167 GT.

Among the 6,890 bulk carriers held here, it ranks 5,000th by tonnage — larger than 23% 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.

Oborishte was built in 2010, making it 16 years old. It is one of 3,028 hulls in this registry delivered that year, a cohort whose median tonnage is 20,204 GT; within it this ship is the 1,454th 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 16 vessels to Wuhu Shipyard, with a median tonnage of 6,402 GT, delivered between 2001 and 2024. See the rest of that yard’s output.

At 189.7 m overall, Oborishte is within a metre of the 190.0 m median length for bulk carriers on record, with a beam of 23.6 m and a draft of 10.1 m.

IMO numbers are issued in broadly chronological blocks. Within 500 either side of 9415167 this registry holds 77 other vessels, whose median build year is 2009 and which range from 2006 to 2013. That places this hull’s registration in the same part of the series, consistent with its recorded build year of 2010.

Its IMO number, 9415167, carries its own check digit. The first six digits are weighted seven down to two and summed — 9×7 + 4×6 + 1×5 + 5×4 + 1×3 + 6×2 = 127 — and the last digit of that total, 7, must equal the seventh digit, 7. It does, so this number is well formed.
