In context

How Zetagas 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 8,009 gross tons, Zetagas is the 38,703rd 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 1.3 times the typical vessel on record here. The largest measures 499,167 GT.

Among the 270 lng carriers held here, it ranks 235th by tonnage — larger than 6% of that group. Their median tonnage is 105,826 GT, and the largest tenth begin at 128,416 GT. The flag most often flown by this group is Marshall Islands (37 ships). The yard that appears most often against it is Samsung Heavy Industries, with 39 hulls on record.

Antigua and Barbuda is the country of registry for 734 vessels in this directory, of which Zetagas is the 269th largest by tonnage. The most common class under that flag is vessels this registry holds no type classification for (372 ships), and the median vessel measures 6,351 GT. Browse every ship flagged Antigua and Barbuda.

Narrowing to both dimensions at once, this registry holds 6 lng carriers flying the Antigua and Barbuda flag, of which none is larger than Zetagas.

Zetagas 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 1,300th 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 118 vessels to STX Offshore & Shipbuilding, with a median tonnage of 32,968 GT, delivered between 2002 and 2019. See the rest of that yard’s output.

At 113.0 m overall, Zetagas is 175.0 m shorter than the 288.0 m median for lng carriers on record and a draft of 8.4 m.

IMO numbers are issued in broadly chronological blocks. Within 500 either side of 9623984 this registry holds 71 other vessels, whose median build year is 2012 and which range from 1970 to 2018. That places this hull’s registration in the same part of the series, consistent with its recorded build year of 2013.

Its IMO number, 9623984, carries its own check digit. The first six digits are weighted seven down to two and summed — 9×7 + 6×6 + 2×5 + 3×4 + 9×3 + 8×2 = 164 — and the last digit of that total, 4, must equal the seventh digit, 4. It does, so this number is well formed.
