In context

How Skeena Queen compares

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 2,652 gross tons, Skeena Queen is the 53,916th 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 smaller than the typical vessel on record here. The largest measures 499,167 GT.

Among the 1,234 ferrys held here, it ranks 520th by tonnage — larger than 41% 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.

Canada is the country of registry for 633 vessels in this directory, of which Skeena Queen is the 212th largest by tonnage. The most common class under that flag is vessels this registry holds no type classification for (404 ships), and the median vessel measures 1,800 GT. Browse every ship flagged Canada.

Narrowing to both dimensions at once, this registry holds 26 ferrys flying the Canada flag, of which 12 are larger by tonnage.

Skeena Queen 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 907th 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 21 vessels to Allied Shipbuilders, with a median tonnage of 799 GT, delivered between 1958 and 1997. See the rest of that yard’s output.

At 110.0 m overall, Skeena Queen is 6.0 m longer than the 104.0 m median for ferrys on record.

IMO numbers are issued in broadly chronological blocks. Within 500 either side of 9137090 this registry holds 74 other vessels, whose median build year is 1996 and which range from 1995 to 2002. That places this hull’s registration in the same part of the series, consistent with its recorded build year of 1997.

Its IMO number, 9137090, carries its own check digit. The first six digits are weighted seven down to two and summed — 9×7 + 1×6 + 3×5 + 7×4 + 0×3 + 9×2 = 130 — and the last digit of that total, 0, must equal the seventh digit, 0. It does, so this number is well formed.
