How Wilson Norfolk 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 6,118 gross tons, Wilson Norfolk is the 41,746th largest of the 84,014 vessels in this registry that report a tonnage. The median across that set is 5,994 GT. The largest measures 499,167 GT.

Among the 1,085 multi-purposes held here, it ranks 259th by tonnage — larger than 72% of that group. Their median tonnage is 2,998 GT, and the largest tenth begin at 11,901 GT. The flag most often flown by this group is Netherlands (170 ships). The yard that appears most often against it is SLKB Komarno – Slovak Shipyard Komárno, with 78 hulls on record.

Norway is the country of registry for 3,032 vessels in this directory, of which Wilson Norfolk is the 875th largest by tonnage. The most common class under that flag is vessels this registry holds no type classification for (2,126 ships), and the median vessel measures 3,102 GT. Browse every ship flagged Norway.

Narrowing to both dimensions at once, this registry holds 48 multi-purposes flying the Norway flag, of which 9 are larger by tonnage.

Wilson Norfolk 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 1,975th 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 42 vessels to Damen Yichang Shipyard, with a median tonnage of 6,118 GT, delivered between 1991 and 2024. See the rest of that yard’s output.

At 123.0 m overall, Wilson Norfolk is 33.1 m longer than the 90.0 m median for multi-purposes on record, with a beam of 17.0 m and a draft of 7.4 m.

IMO numbers are issued in broadly chronological blocks. Within 500 either side of 9430997 this registry holds 80 other vessels, whose median build year is 2009 and which range from 2007 to 2017. That places this hull’s registration in the same part of the series, consistent with its recorded build year of 2011.

Its IMO number, 9430997, carries its own check digit. The first six digits are weighted seven down to two and summed — 9×7 + 4×6 + 3×5 + 0×4 + 9×3 + 9×2 = 147 — and the last digit of that total, 7, must equal the seventh digit, 7. It does, so this number is well formed.
