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 27,611 gross tons, Safa Marwa is the 21,436th 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 4.6 times the typical vessel on record here. The largest measures 499,167 GT.
Among the 604 chemical / products tankers held here, it ranks 48th by tonnage — larger than 92% of that group. Their median tonnage is 5,979 GT, and the largest tenth begin at 25,682 GT. The flag most often flown by this group is Panama (80 ships). The yard that appears most often against it is HD Hyundai Mipo, with 35 hulls on record.
Malta is the country of registry for 2,640 vessels in this directory, of which Safa Marwa is the 1,056th largest by tonnage. The most common class under that flag is vessels this registry holds no type classification for (1,614 ships), and the median vessel measures 23,204 GT. Browse every ship flagged Malta.
Narrowing to both dimensions at once, this registry holds 43 chemical / products tankers flying the Malta flag, of which 2 are larger by tonnage.
Safa Marwa was built in 1988, making it 38 years old. It is one of 920 hulls in this registry delivered that year, a cohort whose median tonnage is 1,512 GT; within it this ship is the 94th 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 740 vessels to Shin Kurushima Dockyard, with a median tonnage of 16,762 GT, delivered between 1970 and 2021. See the rest of that yard’s output.
At 180.0 m overall, Safa Marwa is 60.9 m longer than the 119.1 m median for chemical / products tankers on record.
IMO numbers are issued in broadly chronological blocks. Within 500 either side of 8800248 this registry holds 28 other vessels, whose median build year is 1989. 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, 8800248, carries its own check digit. The first six digits are weighted seven down to two and summed — 8×7 + 8×6 + 0×5 + 0×4 + 2×3 + 4×2 = 118 — and the last digit of that total, 8, must equal the seventh digit, 8. It does, so this number is well formed.
