UBC Olimbus

At 65,976 gross tons, UBC Olimbus is the 6,928th 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 11 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 3,704th by tonnage — larger than 93% 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.

UBC Olimbus was built in 2011, making it 15 years old. It is one of 2,848 hulls in this registry delivered that year, a cohort whose median tonnage is 23,456 GT; within it this ship is the 426th 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 201 vessels to Yangzhou Binjiang Shipbuilding, with a median tonnage of 32,837 GT, delivered between 1994 and 2018. See the rest of that yard’s output.

At 260.5 m overall, UBC Olimbus is 145.5 m longer than the 115.0 m median for vessels this registry holds no type classification for on record and a draft of 14.8 m.

IMO numbers are issued in broadly chronological blocks. Within 500 either side of 9463669 this registry holds 55 other vessels, whose median build year is 2010 and which range from 2007 to 2013. That places this hull’s registration in the same part of the series, consistent with its recorded build year of 2011.

Its IMO number, 9463669, carries its own check digit. The first six digits are weighted seven down to two and summed — 9×7 + 4×6 + 6×5 + 3×4 + 6×3 + 6×2 = 159 — and the last digit of that total, 9, must equal the seventh digit, 9. It does, so this number is well formed.
