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.

IMO numbers are issued in broadly chronological blocks. Within 500 either side of 9625243 this registry holds 73 other vessels, whose median build year is 2013 and which range from 2010 to 2015. That places this hull’s registration in the same part of the series, consistent with its recorded build year of 2012.
Its IMO number, , carries its own check digit. The first six digits are weighted seven down to two and summed — = 143 — and the last digit of that total, 3, must equal the seventh digit, 3. It does, so this number is well formed.
