In context

How Sloman Helios 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 11,246 gross tons, Sloman Helios is the 34,385th 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 1.9 times the typical vessel on record here. The largest measures 499,167 GT.

Among the 604 chemical / products tankers held here, it ranks 206th by tonnage — larger than 64% of that group. Their median tonnage is 5,979 GT, and the largest tenth begin at 25,682 GT. The flag most often flown by this group is Panama (80 ships). The yard that appears most often against it is HD Hyundai Mipo, with 35 hulls on record.

Antigua and Barbuda is the country of registry for 734 vessels in this directory, of which Sloman Helios is the 133rd largest by tonnage. The most common class under that flag is vessels this registry holds no type classification for (372 ships), and the median vessel measures 6,351 GT. Browse every ship flagged Antigua and Barbuda.

Narrowing to both dimensions at once, this registry holds 3 chemical / products tankers flying the Antigua and Barbuda flag, of which 1 is larger by tonnage.

Sloman Helios was built in 2011, making it 15 years old. It is one of 2,848 hulls in this registry delivered that year, a cohort whose median tonnage is 23,456 GT; within it this ship is the 1,778th 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.

At 145.2 m overall, Sloman Helios is 26.1 m longer than the 119.1 m median for chemical / products tankers on record, with a beam of 23.0 m and a draft of 12.5 m.

IMO numbers are issued in broadly chronological blocks. Within 500 either side of 9466740 this registry holds 56 other vessels, whose median build year is 2010 and which range from 2007 to 2012. That places this hull’s registration in the same part of the series, consistent with its recorded build year of 2011.

Its IMO number, 9466740, carries its own check digit. The first six digits are weighted seven down to two and summed — 9×7 + 4×6 + 6×5 + 6×4 + 7×3 + 4×2 = 170 — and the last digit of that total, 0, must equal the seventh digit, 0. It does, so this number is well formed.
