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 20,338 gross tons, Truong Sa is the 26,481st 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 3.4 times the typical vessel on record here. The largest measures 499,167 GT.
Among the 255 heavy lifts held here, it ranks 31st by tonnage — larger than 86% of that group. Their median tonnage is 1,670 GT, and the largest tenth begin at 24,484 GT. The flag most often flown by this group is Russia (41 ships). The yard that appears most often against it is Pella Sietas, with 8 hulls on record.
Vietnam is the country of registry for 761 vessels in this directory, of which Truong Sa is the 53rd largest by tonnage. The most common class under that flag is vessels this registry holds no type classification for (352 ships), and the median vessel measures 2,971 GT. Browse every ship flagged Vietnam.
Truong Sa was built in 1984, making it 42 years old. It is one of 1,492 hulls in this registry delivered that year, a cohort whose median tonnage is 4,366 GT; within it this ship is the 308th 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 118 vessels to Wärtsilä, with a median tonnage of 14,058 GT, delivered between 1938 and 1998. See the rest of that yard’s output.
At 121.8 m overall, Truong Sa is 41.3 m longer than the 80.5 m median for heavy lifts on record, with a beam of 54.5 m and a draft of 5.2 m.
IMO numbers are issued in broadly chronological blocks. Within 500 either side of 8129644 this registry holds 43 other vessels, whose median build year is 1983 and which range from 1981 to 1999. That places this hull’s registration in the same part of the series, consistent with its recorded build year of 1984.
Its IMO number, 8129644, carries its own check digit. The first six digits are weighted seven down to two and summed — 8×7 + 1×6 + 2×5 + 9×4 + 6×3 + 4×2 = 134 — and the last digit of that total, 4, must equal the seventh digit, 4. It does, so this number is well formed.
Record
Events recorded against this vessel in the source, with the dates the source gives. An event with no date is listed last rather than assigned one.
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.
