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 60,538 gross tons, Saipem 12000 is the 7,892nd 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 10 times the typical vessel on record here. The largest measures 499,167 GT.
Among the 58,086 vessels this registry holds no type classification for held here, it ranks 4,367th by tonnage — larger than 91% of that group. Their median tonnage is 5,358 GT, and the largest tenth begin at 54,309 GT. The flag most often flown by this group is Panama (5,698 ships). The yard that appears most often against it is HD Hyundai Mipo, with 615 hulls on record.
The Bahamas is the country of registry for 1,614 vessels in this directory, of which Saipem 12000 is the 365th largest by tonnage. The most common class under that flag is vessels this registry holds no type classification for (940 ships), and the median vessel measures 30,020 GT. Browse every ship flagged The Bahamas.
Narrowing to both dimensions at once, this registry holds 940 vessels this registry holds no type classification for flying the The Bahamas flag, of which 211 are larger by tonnage.
Saipem 12000 was built in 2010, making it 16 years old. It is one of 3,028 hulls in this registry delivered that year, a cohort whose median tonnage is 20,204 GT; within it this ship is the 458th largest. 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 826 vessels to Samsung Heavy Industries, with a median tonnage of 75,201 GT, delivered between 1980 and 2025. See the rest of that yard’s output.
At 228.0 m overall, Saipem 12000 is 113.0 m longer than the 115.0 m median for vessels this registry holds no type classification for on record, with a beam of 42.0 m and a draft of 12.0 m.
IMO numbers are issued in broadly chronological blocks. Within 500 either side of 9437359 this registry holds 65 other vessels, whose median build year is 2009 and which range from 2006 to 2012. That places this hull’s registration in the same part of the series, consistent with its recorded build year of 2010.
Its IMO number, 9437359, carries its own check digit. The first six digits are weighted seven down to two and summed — 9×7 + 4×6 + 3×5 + 7×4 + 3×3 + 5×2 = 149 — and the last digit of that total, 9, must equal the seventh digit, 9. It does, so this number is well formed.
