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 73,899 gross tons, «Rio Madeira» is the 6,341st 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 12 times the typical vessel on record here. The largest measures 499,167 GT.
Among the 3,881 container ships held here, it ranks 914th by tonnage — larger than 75% of that group. Their median tonnage is 33,698 GT, and the largest tenth begin at 140,096 GT. The flag most often flown by this group is Liberia (498 ships). The yard that appears most often against it is HD Hyundai Heavy Industries, with 348 hulls on record.
Singapore is the country of registry for 2,873 vessels in this directory, of which «Rio Madeira» is the 357th largest by tonnage. The most common class under that flag is vessels this registry holds no type classification for (1,799 ships), and the median vessel measures 20,927 GT. Browse every ship flagged Singapore.
Narrowing to both dimensions at once, this registry holds 288 container ships flying the Singapore flag, of which 91 are larger by tonnage.
«Rio Madeira» was built in 2009, making it 17 years old. It is one of 2,834 hulls in this registry delivered that year, a cohort whose median tonnage is 11,673 GT; within it this ship is the 287th largest. Across the whole of the 2000s the registry holds 18,605 vessels, median 9,957 GT. The median build year across the entire registry is 1995.
The registry attributes 120 vessels to Mangalia Shipyard, with a median tonnage of 44,133 GT, delivered between 1980 and 2017. See the rest of that yard’s output.
At 286.4 m overall, «Rio Madeira» is 64.8 m longer than the 221.6 m median for container ships on record, with a beam of 40.0 m and a draft of 13.8 m.
IMO numbers are issued in broadly chronological blocks. Within 500 either side of 9348106 this registry holds 68 other vessels, whose median build year is 2007 and which range from 2005 to 2011. That places this hull’s registration in the same part of the series, consistent with its recorded build year of 2009.
Its IMO number, 9348106, carries its own check digit. The first six digits are weighted seven down to two and summed — 9×7 + 3×6 + 4×5 + 8×4 + 1×3 + 0×2 = 136 — and the last digit of that total, 6, must equal the seventh digit, 6. It does, so this number is well formed.

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.
