How Whitefish Bay 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 24,300 gross tons, Whitefish Bay is the 23,444th 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 4.1 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 13,107th by tonnage — larger than 74% 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.

Canada is the country of registry for 633 vessels in this directory, of which Whitefish Bay is the 23rd largest by tonnage. The most common class under that flag is vessels this registry holds no type classification for (404 ships), and the median vessel measures 1,800 GT. Browse every ship flagged Canada.

Narrowing to both dimensions at once, this registry holds 404 vessels this registry holds no type classification for flying the Canada flag, of which 11 are larger by tonnage.

Whitefish Bay was built in 2013, making it 13 years old. It is one of 2,213 hulls in this registry delivered that year, a cohort whose median tonnage is 22,566 GT; within it this ship is the 967th 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 167 vessels to Chengxi Shipyard, with a median tonnage of 32,474 GT, delivered between 1993 and 2021. See the rest of that yard’s output.

At 126.0 m overall, Whitefish Bay is 11.0 m longer than the 115.0 m median for vessels this registry holds no type classification for on record, with a beam of 23.8 m and a draft of 9.0 m.

IMO numbers are issued in broadly chronological blocks. Within 500 either side of 9639880 this registry holds 72 other vessels, whose median build year is 2013 and which range from 2011 to 2020. That places this hull’s registration in the same part of the series, consistent with its recorded build year of 2013.

Its IMO number, 9639880, carries its own check digit. The first six digits are weighted seven down to two and summed — 9×7 + 6×6 + 3×5 + 9×4 + 8×3 + 8×2 = 190 — and the last digit of that total, 0, must equal the seventh digit, 0. It does, so this number is well formed.
