At 32,336 gross tons, Tulipa Seaways is the 18,045th 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 5.4 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 10,077th by tonnage — larger than 80% 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.

Tulipa Seaways was built in 2017, making it 9 years old. It is one of 1,468 hulls in this registry delivered that year, a cohort whose median tonnage is 26,213 GT; within it this ship is the 604th largest. Across the whole of the 2010s the registry holds 20,111 vessels, median 23,456 GT. The median build year across the entire registry is 1995.

The registry attributes 118 vessels to Flensburger Schiffbau-Gesellschaft, with a median tonnage of 24,046 GT, delivered between 1900 and 2022. See the rest of that yard’s output.

At 209.6 m overall, Tulipa Seaways is 94.6 m longer than the 115.0 m median for vessels this registry holds no type classification for on record.

IMO numbers are issued in broadly chronological blocks. Within 500 either side of 9809100 this registry holds 46 other vessels, whose median build year is 2017 and which range from 2016 to 2020. That places this hull’s registration in the same part of the series, consistent with its recorded build year of 2017.

Its IMO number, 9809100, carries its own check digit. The first six digits are weighted seven down to two and summed — 9×7 + 8×6 + 0×5 + 9×4 + 1×3 + 0×2 = 150 — and the last digit of that total, 0, must equal the seventh digit, 0. It does, so this number is well formed.
