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 42,447 gross tons, Silver Soul is the 12,553rd 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 7.1 times the typical vessel on record here. The largest measures 499,167 GT.
Among the 485 car carriers held here, it ranks 289th by tonnage — larger than 38% of that group. Their median tonnage is 49,792 GT, and the largest tenth begin at 68,871 GT. The flag most often flown by this group is Panama (132 ships). The yard that appears most often against it is Shin Kurushima Dockyard, with 41 hulls on record.
Panama is the country of registry for 9,598 vessels in this directory, of which Silver Soul is the 1,988th 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 132 car carriers flying the Panama flag, of which 91 are larger by tonnage.
Silver Soul was built in 1988, making it 38 years old. It is one of 920 hulls in this registry delivered that year, a cohort whose median tonnage is 1,512 GT; within it this ship is the 44th largest. Across the whole of the 1980s the registry holds 13,213 vessels, median 3,004 GT. The median build year across the entire registry is 1995.
The registry attributes 1,480 vessels to HD Hyundai Mipo, with a median tonnage of 29,375 GT, delivered between 1979 and 2025. See the rest of that yard’s output.
At 183.0 m overall, Silver Soul is 10.9 m shorter than the 193.9 m median for car carriers on record.
IMO numbers are issued in broadly chronological blocks. Within 500 either side of 8718706 this registry holds 41 other vessels, whose median build year is 1988 and which range from 1987 to 1993. 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, 8718706, carries its own check digit. The first six digits are weighted seven down to two and summed — 8×7 + 7×6 + 1×5 + 8×4 + 7×3 + 0×2 = 156 — and the last digit of that total, 6, must equal the seventh digit, 6. It does, so this number is well formed.
