How Sognekongen 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 409 gross tons, Sognekongen is the 75,733rd 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 15 times smaller than the typical vessel on record here. The largest measures 499,167 GT.

Among the 617 passenger vessels held here, it ranks 368th by tonnage — larger than 25% of that group. Their median tonnage is 909 GT, and the largest tenth begin at 9,718 GT. The flag most often flown by this group is Egypt (65 ships). The yard that appears most often against it is Meyer Werft, with 16 hulls on record.

Uruguaiana is the country of registry for 1 vessels in this directory, of which Sognekongen is the 1st largest by tonnage. The most common class under that flag is passenger vessels (1 ships), and the median vessel measures 409 GT. Browse every ship flagged Uruguaiana.

Sognekongen was built in 1987, making it 39 years old. It is one of 819 hulls in this registry delivered that year, a cohort whose median tonnage is 1,937 GT; within it this ship is the 665th 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 97 vessels to Kvaerner Fjellstrand, with a median tonnage of 472 GT, delivered between 1963 and 2018. See the rest of that yard’s output.

At 38.8 m overall, Sognekongen is 22.2 m shorter than the 61.0 m median for passenger vessels on record, with a beam of 9.4 m.

IMO numbers are issued in broadly chronological blocks. Within 500 either side of 8704937 this registry holds 52 other vessels, whose median build year is 1988 and which range from 1987 to 1996. That places this hull’s registration in the same part of the series, consistent with its recorded build year of 1987.

Its IMO number, 8704937, carries its own check digit. The first six digits are weighted seven down to two and summed — 8×7 + 7×6 + 0×5 + 4×4 + 9×3 + 3×2 = 147 — and the last digit of that total, 7, must equal the seventh digit, 7. It does, so this number is well formed.
