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 28,073 gross tons, Project Link is the 21,126th 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 4.7 times the typical vessel on record here. The largest measures 499,167 GT.
Among the 2,402 tankers held here, it ranks 513th by tonnage — larger than 77% 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.
Indonesia is the country of registry for 2,700 vessels in this directory, of which Project Link is the 141st largest by tonnage. The most common class under that flag is vessels this registry holds no type classification for (1,484 ships), and the median vessel measures 2,078 GT. Browse every ship flagged Indonesia.
Narrowing to both dimensions at once, this registry holds 70 tankers flying the Indonesia flag, of which 7 are larger by tonnage.
Project Link was built in 1989, making it 37 years old. It is one of 1,131 hulls in this registry delivered that year, a cohort whose median tonnage is 1,938 GT; within it this ship is the 142nd 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 1,090 vessels to Hanwha Ocean, with a median tonnage of 84,214 GT, delivered between 1982 and 2025. See the rest of that yard’s output.
At 178.0 m overall, Project Link is 39.0 m longer than the 139.0 m median for tankers on record.
IMO numbers are issued in broadly chronological blocks. Within 500 either side of 8717233 this registry holds 42 other vessels, whose median build year is 1988 and which range from 1987 to 1990. 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, 8717233, carries its own check digit. The first six digits are weighted seven down to two and summed — 8×7 + 7×6 + 1×5 + 7×4 + 2×3 + 3×2 = 143 — and the last digit of that total, 3, must equal the seventh digit, 3. It does, so this number is well formed.
