In brief
St Patrick is a fast ro-pax ferry owned by the Estonian ferry company Tallink and is chartered to the Irish ferry company Hibernia Line. She was built in 2002 as Superfast IX by Howaldtswerke-Deutsche Werft in Kiel, Germany for Superfast Ferries, whose Baltic Sea operations were sold to Tallink in 2006. From 2008 to 2024, she was chartered to Canadian operator Marine Atlantic as Atlantic Vision, operating between North Sydney, Nova Scotia, and the Newfoundland ports of Channel-Port aux Basques and Argentia. She re-entered service for Tallink in 2025 under her previous name, before her charter to Hibernia Line for its Cork to Boulogne-sur-Mer service starting in 2026 as St Patrick.

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 30,285 gross tons, St Patrick (ship) is the 19,067th 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 5.1 times the typical vessel on record here. The largest measures 499,167 GT.
Among the 58,086 vessels this registry holds no type classification for held here, it ranks 10,681st by tonnage — larger than 79% of that group. Their median tonnage is 5,358 GT, and the largest tenth begin at 54,309 GT. The flag most often flown by this group is Panama (5,698 ships). The yard that appears most often against it is HD Hyundai Mipo, with 615 hulls on record.
Canada is the country of registry for 633 vessels in this directory, of which St Patrick (ship) is the 10th 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 404 vessels this registry holds no type classification for flying the Canada flag, of which 6 are larger by tonnage.
St Patrick (ship) was built in 2002, making it 24 years old. It is one of 1,298 hulls in this registry delivered that year, a cohort whose median tonnage is 12,563 GT; within it this ship is the 331st largest. Across the whole of the 2000s the registry holds 18,605 vessels, median 9,957 GT. The median build year across the entire registry is 1995.
The registry attributes 210 vessels to Howaldtswerke-Deutsche Werft, with a median tonnage of 30,285 GT, delivered between 1905 and 2010. See the rest of that yard’s output.
At 203.0 m overall, St Patrick (ship) is 88.0 m longer than the 115.0 m median for vessels this registry holds no type classification for on record, with a beam of 25.0 m and a draft of 6.7 m.
IMO numbers are issued in broadly chronological blocks. Within 500 either side of 9211509 this registry holds 50 other vessels, whose median build year is 2000 and which range from 1999 to 2014. That places this hull’s registration in the same part of the series, consistent with its recorded build year of 2002.
Its IMO number, 9211509, carries its own check digit. The first six digits are weighted seven down to two and summed — 9×7 + 2×6 + 1×5 + 1×4 + 5×3 + 0×2 = 99 — and the last digit of that total, 9, must equal the seventh digit, 9. It does, so this number is well formed.
