How Saltstraum 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 7,256 gross tons, Saltstraum is the 39,860th 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 1.2 times the typical vessel on record here. The largest measures 499,167 GT.

Among the 2,402 tankers held here, it ranks 1,172nd by tonnage — larger than 48% 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.

Norway is the country of registry for 3,032 vessels in this directory, of which Saltstraum is the 816th largest by tonnage. The most common class under that flag is vessels this registry holds no type classification for (2,126 ships), and the median vessel measures 3,102 GT. Browse every ship flagged Norway.

Narrowing to both dimensions at once, this registry holds 73 tankers flying the Norway flag, of which 44 are larger by tonnage.

Saltstraum was built in 2020, making it 6 years old. It is one of 984 hulls in this registry delivered that year, a cohort whose median tonnage is 32,720 GT; within it this ship is the 708th largest. Across the whole of the 2020s the registry holds 1,769 vessels, median 29,777 GT. The median build year across the entire registry is 1995.

The registry attributes 241 vessels to CSC Jinling, with a median tonnage of 25,609 GT, delivered between 1996 and 2020. See the rest of that yard’s output.

At 129.4 m overall, Saltstraum is 9.6 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 9854466 this registry holds 37 other vessels, whose median build year is 2020 and which range from 2017 to 2023. That places this hull’s registration in the same part of the series, consistent with its recorded build year of 2020.

Its IMO number, 9854466, carries its own check digit. The first six digits are weighted seven down to two and summed — 9×7 + 8×6 + 5×5 + 4×4 + 4×3 + 6×2 = 176 — and the last digit of that total, 6, must equal the seventh digit, 6. It does, so this number is well formed.
