In context
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 4,969 gross tons, Pacific Sun is the 44,612th 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 1.2 times smaller than the typical vessel on record here. The largest measures 499,167 GT.
Among the 2,402 tankers held here, it ranks 1,382nd by tonnage — larger than 39% 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.
Colombia is the country of registry for 52 vessels in this directory, of which Pacific Sun is the 4th largest by tonnage. The most common class under that flag is vessels this registry holds no type classification for (33 ships), and the median vessel measures 980 GT. Browse every ship flagged Colombia.
Pacific Sun was built in 1988, making it 38 years old. It is one of 920 hulls in this registry delivered that year, a cohort whose median tonnage is 1,512 GT; within it this ship is the 242nd largest. Across the whole of the 1980s the registry holds 13,213 vessels, median 3,004 GT. The median build year across the entire registry is 1995.
The registry attributes 129 vessels to Higaki Shipbuilding, with a median tonnage of 5,470 GT, delivered between 1979 and 2014. See the rest of that yard’s output.
At 113.0 m overall, Pacific Sun is 26.0 m shorter than the 139.0 m median for tankers on record.
IMO numbers are issued in broadly chronological blocks. Within 500 either side of 8718380 this registry holds 42 other vessels, whose median build year is 1988 and which range from 1988 to 1990. That places this hull’s registration in the same part of the series, consistent with its recorded build year of 1988.
Its IMO number, 8718380, carries its own check digit. The first six digits are weighted seven down to two and summed — = 160 — and the last digit of that total, 0, must equal the seventh digit, 0. It does, so this number is well formed.
Same yard, same years
No ship class is recorded for this vessel, so these are not asserted to be sister ships — they are contemporaries from the same builder, shown because that is what the data supports.
