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 5,871 gross tons, Yury Topchev is the 42,321st 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 612 research / surveys held here, it ranks 88th by tonnage — larger than 82% of that group. Their median tonnage is 2,180 GT, and the largest tenth begin at 9,452 GT. The flag most often flown by this group is United States (90 ships). The yard that appears most often against it is Wärtsilä, with 36 hulls on record.
Russia is the country of registry for 2,810 vessels in this directory, of which Yury Topchev is the 315th largest by tonnage. The most common class under that flag is vessels this registry holds no type classification for (830 ships), and the median vessel measures 2,293 GT. Browse every ship flagged Russia.
Narrowing to both dimensions at once, this registry holds 69 research / surveys flying the Russia flag, of which 27 are larger by tonnage.
Yury Topchev was built in 2006, making it 20 years old. It is one of 2,118 hulls in this registry delivered that year, a cohort whose median tonnage is 8,539 GT; within it this ship is the 1,144th largest. Across the whole of the 2000s the registry holds 18,605 vessels, median 9,957 GT. The median build year across the entire registry is 1995.
The registry attributes 76 vessels to Havyard Ship Technology, with a median tonnage of 2,807 GT, delivered between 1957 and 2021. See the rest of that yard’s output.
At 99.0 m overall, Yury Topchev is 28.0 m longer than the 71.0 m median for research / surveys on record.
IMO numbers are issued in broadly chronological blocks. Within 500 either side of 9338230 this registry holds 63 other vessels, whose median build year is 2007 and which range from 2004 to 2009. That places this hull’s registration in the same part of the series, consistent with its recorded build year of 2006.
Its IMO number, 9338230, carries its own check digit. The first six digits are weighted seven down to two and summed — 9×7 + 3×6 + 3×5 + 8×4 + 2×3 + 3×2 = 140 — and the last digit of that total, 0, must equal the seventh digit, 0. It does, so this number is well formed.
