How Petrobras 36 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 33,000 gross tons, Petrobras 36 is the 17,370th 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 5.5 times the typical vessel on record here. The largest measures 499,167 GT.
Among the 911 rig / offshore units held here, it ranks 127th by tonnage — larger than 85% of that group. Their median tonnage is 9,254 GT, and the largest tenth begin at 51,732 GT. The flag most often flown by this group is Liberia (179 ships). The yard that appears most often against it is Hanwha Ocean, with 27 hulls on record.
Brazil is the country of registry for 445 vessels in this directory, of which Petrobras 36 is the 48th largest by tonnage.

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 226 vessels to Fincantieri, with a median tonnage of 54,655 GT, delivered between 1935 and 2026. See the rest of that yard’s output.
