How Paapsand 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 148 gross tons, Paapsand is the 82,357th 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 41 times smaller than the typical vessel on record here. The largest measures 499,167 GT.

Among the 612 research / surveys held here, it ranks 468th by tonnage — larger than 3% of that group. Their median tonnage is 2,180 GT, and the largest tenth begin at 9,452 GT. The flag most often flown by this group is United States (90 ships). The yard that appears most often against it is Wärtsilä, with 36 hulls on record.

Germany is the country of registry for 885 vessels in this directory, of which Paapsand is the 650th 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 40 research / surveys flying the Germany flag, of which 29 are larger by tonnage.

Paapsand was built in 1999, making it 27 years old. It is one of 1,252 hulls in this registry delivered that year, a cohort whose median tonnage is 8,594 GT; within it this ship is the 1,185th 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 53 vessels to Fassmer, with a median tonnage of 279 GT, delivered between 1982 and 2023. See the rest of that yard’s output.

At 30.1 m overall, Paapsand is 41.0 m shorter than the 71.0 m median for research / surveys on record, with a beam of 6.5 m and a draft of 2.2 m.

IMO numbers are issued in broadly chronological blocks. Within 500 either side of 9199177 this registry holds 43 other vessels, whose median build year is 2000 and which range from 1998 to 2019. That places this hull’s registration in the same part of the series, consistent with its recorded build year of 1999.

Its IMO number, 9199177, carries its own check digit. The first six digits are weighted seven down to two and summed — 9×7 + 1×6 + 9×5 + 9×4 + 1×3 + 7×2 = 167 — and the last digit of that total, 7, must equal the seventh digit, 7. It does, so this number is well formed.
