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 45,965 gross tons, Sunny Joy is the 10,809th 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 7.7 times the typical vessel on record here. The largest measures 499,167 GT.
Among the 578 lpg carriers held here, it ranks 45th by tonnage — larger than 92% of that group. Their median tonnage is 3,901 GT, and the largest tenth begin at 44,690 GT. The flag most often flown by this group is Panama (100 ships). The yard that appears most often against it is HD Hyundai Mipo, with 40 hulls on record.
Panama is the country of registry for 9,598 vessels in this directory, of which Sunny Joy is the 1,618th largest by tonnage. The most common class under that flag is vessels this registry holds no type classification for (5,698 ships), and the median vessel measures 18,203 GT. Browse every ship flagged Panama.
Narrowing to both dimensions at once, this registry holds 100 lpg carriers flying the Panama flag, of which 14 are larger by tonnage.
Sunny Joy was built in 2000, making it 26 years old.

Same yard, same years
No ship class is recorded for this vessel, so these are not asserted to be sister ships — they are contemporaries from the same builder, shown because that is what the data supports.

Measurements
Its IMO number, 9206384, carries its own check digit. The first six digits are weighted seven down to two and summed — 9×7 + 2×6 + 0×5 + 6×4 + 3×3 + 8×2 = 124 — and the last digit of that total, 4, must equal the seventh digit, 4. It does, so this number is well formed.
