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 199,372 gross tons, Shandong Da Zhi is the 184th 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 33 times the typical vessel on record here. The largest measures 499,167 GT.
Among the 6,890 bulk carriers held here, it ranks 17th by tonnage — larger than 100% 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.
Hong Kong is the country of registry for 2,385 vessels in this directory, of which Shandong Da Zhi is the 40th 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 483 bulk carriers flying the Hong Kong flag, of which 7 are larger by tonnage.
Shandong Da Zhi was built in 2012, making it 14 years old. It is one of 2,747 hulls in this registry delivered that year, a cohort whose median tonnage is 23,456 GT; within it this ship is the 11th 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 1,090 vessels to Hanwha Ocean, with a median tonnage of 84,214 GT, delivered between 1982 and 2025. See the rest of that yard’s output.
At 360.0 m overall, Shandong Da Zhi is 170.0 m longer than the 190.0 m median for bulk carriers on record.
IMO numbers are issued in broadly chronological blocks. Within 500 either side of 9593957 this registry holds 67 other vessels, whose median build year is 2012. 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, 9593957, carries its own check digit. The first six digits are weighted seven down to two and summed — 9×7 + 5×6 + 9×5 + 3×4 + 9×3 + 5×2 = 187 — and the last digit of that total, 7, must equal the seventh digit, 7. It does, so this number is well formed.
