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 13,680 gross tons, Sedco 703 is the 31,933rd 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 2.3 times the typical vessel on record here. The largest measures 499,167 GT.
Among the 911 rig / offshore units held here, it ranks 294th by tonnage — larger than 66% of that group. Their median tonnage is 9,254 GT, and the largest tenth begin at 51,732 GT. The flag most often flown by this group is Liberia (179 ships). The yard that appears most often against it is Hanwha Ocean, with 27 hulls on record.
Liberia is the country of registry for 4,741 vessels in this directory, of which Sedco 703 is the 3,808th largest by tonnage. The most common class under that flag is vessels this registry holds no type classification for (2,739 ships), and the median vessel measures 32,983 GT. Browse every ship flagged Liberia.
Narrowing to both dimensions at once, this registry holds 179 rig / offshore units flying the Liberia flag, of which 38 are larger by tonnage.
Sedco 703 was built in 1974, making it 52 years old. It is one of 2,111 hulls in this registry delivered that year, a cohort whose median tonnage is 1,681 GT; within it this ship is the 404th largest. Across the whole of the 1970s the registry holds 17,331 vessels, median 2,774 GT. The median build year across the entire registry is 1995.
The registry attributes 59 vessels to Avondale Shipyard, with a median tonnage of 25,742 GT, delivered between 1945 and 2006. See the rest of that yard’s output.
At 99.0 m overall, Sedco 703 is 25.0 m longer than the 74.0 m median for rig / offshore units on record.
IMO numbers are issued in broadly chronological blocks. Within 500 either side of 8755120 this registry holds 73 other vessels, whose median build year is 1981 and which range from 1966 to 1991. 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, 8755120, carries its own check digit. The first six digits are weighted seven down to two and summed — 8×7 + 7×6 + 5×5 + 5×4 + 1×3 + 2×2 = 150 — and the last digit of that total, 0, must equal the seventh digit, 0. It does, so this number is well formed.
