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 87,383 gross tons, Shagang Sunrise is the 5,011th 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 15 times the typical vessel on record here. The largest measures 499,167 GT.
Among the 6,890 bulk carriers held here, it ranks 615th by tonnage — larger than 91% of that group. Their median tonnage is 32,837 GT, and the largest tenth begin at 85,849 GT. The flag most often flown by this group is Panama (1,548 ships). The yard that appears most often against it is Oshima Shipbuilding, with 337 hulls on record.
Panama is the country of registry for 9,598 vessels in this directory, of which Shagang Sunrise is the 777th largest by tonnage. The most common class under that flag is vessels this registry holds no type classification for (5,698 ships), and the median vessel measures 18,203 GT. Browse every ship flagged Panama.
Narrowing to both dimensions at once, this registry holds 1,548 bulk carriers flying the Panama flag, of which 136 are larger by tonnage.
Shagang Sunrise was built in 1997, making it 29 years old. It is one of 1,319 hulls in this registry delivered that year, a cohort whose median tonnage is 8,388 GT; within it this ship is the 24th largest. Across the whole of the 1990s the registry holds 12,006 vessels, median 4,956 GT. The median build year across the entire registry is 1995.
The registry attributes 181 vessels to NKK, with a median tonnage of 56,076 GT, delivered between 1958 and 2003. See the rest of that yard’s output.

IMO numbers are issued in broadly chronological blocks. Within 500 either side of 9164457 this registry holds 66 other vessels, whose median build year is 1998 and which range from 1996 to 2002. 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, 9164457, carries its own check digit. The first six digits are weighted seven down to two and summed — 9×7 + 1×6 + 6×5 + 4×4 + 4×3 + 5×2 = 137 — and the last digit of that total, 7, must equal the seventh digit, 7. It does, so this number is well formed.
