How Pellestrina 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 282 gross tons, Pellestrina is the 78,681st 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 21 times smaller than the typical vessel on record here. The largest measures 499,167 GT.

Among the 617 passenger vessels held here, it ranks 398th by tonnage — larger than 19% of that group. Their median tonnage is 909 GT, and the largest tenth begin at 9,718 GT. The flag most often flown by this group is Egypt (65 ships). The yard that appears most often against it is Meyer Werft, with 16 hulls on record.

Italy is the country of registry for 918 vessels in this directory, of which Pellestrina is the 729th largest by tonnage. The most common class under that flag is vessels this registry holds no type classification for (488 ships), and the median vessel measures 4,975 GT. Browse every ship flagged Italy.

Narrowing to both dimensions at once, this registry holds 13 passenger vessels flying the Italy flag, of which 7 are larger by tonnage.

Pellestrina was built in 1972, making it 54 years old. It is one of 1,928 hulls in this registry delivered that year, a cohort whose median tonnage is 2,016 GT; within it this ship is the 1,505th largest. Across the whole of the 1970s the registry holds 17,331 vessels, median 2,774 GT. The median build year across the entire registry is 1995.

The registry attributes 18 vessels to Cantiere Navale de Poli S.p.A., with a median tonnage of 5,440 GT, delivered between 1972 and 2008. See the rest of that yard’s output.

At 42.0 m overall, Pellestrina is 19.0 m shorter than the 61.0 m median for passenger vessels on record, with a beam of 9.4 m and a draft of 1.8 m.

IMO numbers are issued in broadly chronological blocks. Within 500 either side of 8137988 this registry holds 31 other vessels, whose median build year is 1972 and which range from 1903 to 1991. That places this hull’s registration in the same part of the series, consistent with its recorded build year of 1972.

Its IMO number, 8137988, carries its own check digit. The first six digits are weighted seven down to two and summed — 8×7 + 1×6 + 3×5 + 7×4 + 9×3 + 8×2 = 148 — and the last digit of that total, 8, must equal the seventh digit, 8. It does, so this number is well formed.
