How Tayga 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 2,192 gross tons, Tayga is the 56,700th 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 2.7 times smaller than the typical vessel on record here. The largest measures 499,167 GT.
Among the 612 research / surveys held here, it ranks 241st by tonnage — larger than 50% of that group. Their median tonnage is 2,180 GT, and the largest tenth begin at 9,452 GT. The flag most often flown by this group is United States (90 ships). The yard that appears most often against it is Wärtsilä, with 36 hulls on record.
Saint Kitts and Nevis is the country of registry for 545 vessels in this directory, of which Tayga is the 406th largest by tonnage. The most common class under that flag is vessels this registry holds no type classification for (324 ships), and the median vessel measures 10,964 GT. Browse every ship flagged Saint Kitts and Nevis.
Tayga was built in 1977, making it 49 years old. It is one of 1,791 hulls in this registry delivered that year, a cohort whose median tonnage is 5,622 GT; within it this ship is the 1,031st largest. Across the whole of the 1970s the registry holds 17,331 vessels, median 2,774 GT. The median build year across the entire registry is 1995.
The registry attributes 40 vessels to Severnaya Verf, with a median tonnage of 5,602 GT, delivered between 1953 and 2010. See the rest of that yard’s output.
At 83.0 m overall, Tayga is 12.0 m longer than the 71.0 m median for research / surveys on record.
IMO numbers are issued in broadly chronological blocks. Within 500 either side of 8976358 this registry holds 26 other vessels, whose median build year is 1990 and which range from 1957 to 2002. That places this hull’s registration in the same part of the series, consistent with its recorded build year of 1977.
Its IMO number, , carries its own check digit. The first six digits are weighted seven down to two and summed — = 188 — and the last digit of that total, 8, must equal the seventh digit, 8. It does, so this number is well formed.

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.
