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 50,869 gross tons, Safmarine Chachai is the 9,743rd 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 8.5 times the typical vessel on record here. The largest measures 499,167 GT.
Among the 3,881 container ships held here, it ranks 1,329th by tonnage — larger than 64% 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.
Hong Kong is the country of registry for 2,385 vessels in this directory, of which Safmarine Chachai is the 649th largest by tonnage. The most common class under that flag is vessels this registry holds no type classification for (1,478 ships), and the median vessel measures 33,042 GT. Browse every ship flagged Hong Kong.
Narrowing to both dimensions at once, this registry holds 186 container ships flying the Hong Kong flag, of which 96 are larger by tonnage.
Safmarine Chachai was built in 2012, making it 14 years old.

Across the whole of the 2010s the registry holds 20,111 vessels, median 23,456 GT. The median build year across the entire registry is 1995.
The registry attributes 1,480 vessels to HD Hyundai Mipo, with a median tonnage of 29,375 GT, delivered between 1979 and 2025. See the rest of that yard’s output.

IMO numbers are issued in broadly chronological blocks. Within 500 either side of 9525388 this registry holds 59 other vessels. 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, 9525388, carries its own check digit. The first six digits are weighted seven down to two and summed — 9×7 + 5×6 + 2×5 + 5×4 + 3×3 + 8×2 = 148 — and the last digit of that total, 8, must equal the seventh digit, 8. It does, so this number is well formed.
