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 9,923 gross tons, World Explorer is the 36,112th 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 1.7 times the typical vessel on record here. The largest measures 499,167 GT.
Among the 665 cruise ships held here, it ranks 394th by tonnage — larger than 22% of that group. Their median tonnage is 43,009 GT, and the largest tenth begin at 143,289 GT. The flag most often flown by this group is The Bahamas (133 ships). The yard that appears most often against it is Fincantieri, with 112 hulls on record.
Portugal is the country of registry for 389 vessels in this directory, of which World Explorer is the 162nd largest by tonnage. The most common class under that flag is vessels this registry holds no type classification for (223 ships), and the median vessel measures 7,519 GT. Browse every ship flagged Portugal.
Narrowing to both dimensions at once, this registry holds 9 cruise ships flying the Portugal flag, of which 4 are larger by tonnage.
World Explorer was built in 2019, making it 7 years old. It is one of 1,261 hulls in this registry delivered that year, a cohort whose median tonnage is 29,000 GT; within it this ship is the 811th 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 2 vessels to West Sea, with a median tonnage of 9,923 GT, delivered between 2019 and 2019. See the rest of that yard’s output.
At 119.9 m overall, World Explorer is 78.3 m shorter than the 198.1 m median for cruise ships on record, with a beam of 25.0 m and a draft of 4.8 m.
IMO numbers are issued in broadly chronological blocks. Within 500 either side of 9835719 this registry holds 34 other vessels, whose median build year is 2019 and which range from 2018 to 2020. That places this hull’s registration in the same part of the series, consistent with its recorded build year of 2019.
Its IMO number, 9835719, carries its own check digit. The first six digits are weighted seven down to two and summed — 9×7 + 8×6 + 3×5 + 5×4 + 7×3 + 1×2 = 169 — and the last digit of that total, 9, must equal the seventh digit, 9. It does, so this number is well formed.
