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 2,285 gross tons, Skarven is the 56,232nd 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 2.6 times smaller than the typical vessel on record here. The largest measures 499,167 GT.
Among the 1,234 ferrys held here, it ranks 562nd by tonnage — larger than 36% of that group. Their median tonnage is 3,908 GT, and the largest tenth begin at 25,454 GT. The flag most often flown by this group is Japan (241 ships). The yard that appears most often against it is Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, with 34 hulls on record.
Finland is the country of registry for 249 vessels in this directory, of which Skarven is the 103rd largest by tonnage. The most common class under that flag is vessels this registry holds no type classification for (110 ships), and the median vessel measures 2,673 GT. Browse every ship flagged Finland.
Narrowing to both dimensions at once, this registry holds 32 ferrys flying the Finland flag, of which 9 are larger by tonnage.
Skarven was built in 2010, making it 16 years old. It is one of 3,028 hulls in this registry delivered that year, a cohort whose median tonnage is 20,204 GT; within it this ship is the 2,418th 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 2 vessels to Vakarų laivų gamykla, AB, with a median tonnage of 5,124 GT, delivered between 2010 and 2010. See the rest of that yard’s output.
At 65.3 m overall, Skarven is 38.7 m shorter than the 104.0 m median for ferrys on record and a draft of 4.1 m.
IMO numbers are issued in broadly chronological blocks. Within 500 either side of 9436630 this registry holds 66 other vessels, whose median build year is 2009 and which range from 1996 to 2013. That places this hull’s registration in the same part of the series, consistent with its recorded build year of 2010.
Its IMO number, 9436630, carries its own check digit. The first six digits are weighted seven down to two and summed — 9×7 + 4×6 + 3×5 + 6×4 + 6×3 + 3×2 = 150 — and the last digit of that total, 0, must equal the seventh digit, 0. It does, so this number is well formed.
