How Plavkran No. 4 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 596 gross tons, Plavkran No. 4 is the 71,879th 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 10 times smaller than the typical vessel on record here. The largest measures 499,167 GT.
Among the 255 heavy lifts held here, it ranks 203rd by tonnage — larger than 7% of that group. Their median tonnage is 1,670 GT, and the largest tenth begin at 24,484 GT. The flag most often flown by this group is Russia (41 ships). The yard that appears most often against it is Pella Sietas, with 8 hulls on record.
Russia is the country of registry for 2,810 vessels in this directory, of which Plavkran No. 4 is the 2,348th largest by tonnage.

Narrowing to both dimensions at once, this registry holds 41 heavy lifts flying the Russia flag, of which 33 are larger by tonnage.
Plavkran No. 4 was built in 1963, making it 63 years old. It is one of 270 hulls in this registry delivered that year, a cohort whose median tonnage is 1,002 GT; within it this ship is the 80th largest. Across the whole of the 1960s the registry holds 4,074 vessels, median 844 GT. The median build year across the entire registry is 1995.
The registry attributes 229 vessels to Meyer Wismar, with a median tonnage of 16,994 GT, delivered between 1957 and 2021. See the rest of that yard’s output.
