Ocean Corona

At 90,089 gross tons, Ocean Corona is the 4,661st 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 15 times the typical vessel on record here. The largest measures 499,167 GT.

Among the 6,890 bulk carriers held here, it ranks 523rd by tonnage — larger than 92% 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.

Ocean Corona was built in 2009, making it 17 years old. It is one of 2,834 hulls in this registry delivered that year, a cohort whose median tonnage is 11,673 GT; within it this ship is the 214th 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 265 vessels to Imabari Shipbuilding Hiroshima Shipyard, with a median tonnage of 66,332 GT, delivered between 1969 and 2025. See the rest of that yard’s output.

At 288.9 m overall, Ocean Corona is 98.9 m longer than the 190.0 m median for bulk carriers on record, with a beam of 45.0 m and a draft of 18.2 m.

IMO numbers are issued in broadly chronological blocks. Within 500 either side of 9410404 this registry holds 78 other vessels, whose median build year is 2009 and which range from 1991 to 2013. That places this hull’s registration in the same part of the series, consistent with its recorded build year of 2009.

Its IMO number, 9410404, carries its own check digit. The first six digits are weighted seven down to two and summed — 9×7 + 4×6 + 1×5 + 0×4 + 4×3 + 0×2 = 104 — and the last digit of that total, 4, must equal the seventh digit, 4. It does, so this number is well formed.
