How Puerto Posadas 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 1,358 gross tons, Puerto Posadas is the 62,740th 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 4.4 times smaller than the typical vessel on record here. The largest measures 499,167 GT.

Among the 2,402 tankers held here, it ranks 1,993rd by tonnage — larger than 12% 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.

Argentina is the country of registry for 296 vessels in this directory, of which Puerto Posadas is the 78th largest by tonnage. The most common class under that flag is vessels this registry holds no type classification for (222 ships), and the median vessel measures 628 GT. Browse every ship flagged Argentina.

Narrowing to both dimensions at once, this registry holds 4 tankers flying the Argentina flag, of which 2 are larger by tonnage.

Puerto Posadas was built in 1976, making it 50 years old. It is one of 1,812 hulls in this registry delivered that year, a cohort whose median tonnage is 4,484 GT; within it this ship is the 1,113th 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.

At 101.0 m overall, Puerto Posadas is 38.0 m shorter than the 139.0 m median for tankers on record.

IMO numbers are issued in broadly chronological blocks. Within 500 either side of 8846527 this registry holds 24 other vessels, whose median build year is 1981 and which range from 1961 to 1992. That places this hull’s registration in the same part of the series, consistent with its recorded build year of 1976.

Its IMO number, 8846527, carries its own check digit. The first six digits are weighted seven down to two and summed — = 167 — and the last digit of that total, 7, must equal the seventh digit, 7. It does, so this number is well formed.
