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 45,029 gross tons, Portofino Gas is the 10,971st 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 7.5 times the typical vessel on record here. The largest measures 499,167 GT.
Among the 578 lpg carriers held here, it ranks 51st by tonnage — larger than 91% of that group. Their median tonnage is 3,901 GT, and the largest tenth begin at 44,690 GT. The flag most often flown by this group is Panama (100 ships). The yard that appears most often against it is HD Hyundai Mipo, with 40 hulls on record.
Panama is the country of registry for 9,598 vessels in this directory, of which Portofino Gas is the 1,654th largest by tonnage. The most common class under that flag is vessels this registry holds no type classification for (5,698 ships), and the median vessel measures 18,203 GT. Browse every ship flagged Panama.
Narrowing to both dimensions at once, this registry holds 100 lpg carriers flying the Panama flag, of which 18 are larger by tonnage.
Portofino Gas was built in 1992, making it 34 years old. It is one of 1,130 hulls in this registry delivered that year, a cohort whose median tonnage is 3,228 GT; within it this ship is the 141st 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 181 vessels to NKK, with a median tonnage of 56,076 GT, delivered between 1958 and 2003. See the rest of that yard’s output.
At 223.0 m overall, Portofino Gas is 123.8 m longer than the 99.2 m median for lpg carriers on record.
IMO numbers are issued in broadly chronological blocks. Within 500 either side of 9002491 this registry holds 61 other vessels, whose median build year is 1991 and which range from 1989 to 1995. That places this hull’s registration in the same part of the series.
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.

Measurements
Its IMO number, 9002491, carries its own check digit. The first six digits are weighted seven down to two and summed — 9×7 + 0×6 + 0×5 + 2×4 + 4×3 + 9×2 = 101 — and the last digit of that total, 1, must equal the seventh digit, 1. It does, so this number is well formed.
