Zetland

At 74,003 gross tons, Zetland is the 6,331st 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 12 times the typical vessel on record here. The largest measures 499,167 GT.

Among the 6,890 bulk carriers held here, it ranks 853rd by tonnage — larger than 87% of that group. Their median tonnage is 32,837 GT, and the largest tenth begin at 85,849 GT. The flag most often flown by this group is Panama (1,548 ships). The yard that appears most often against it is Oshima Shipbuilding, with 337 hulls on record.

Zetland was built in 1985, making it 41 years old. It is one of 1,312 hulls in this registry delivered that year, a cohort whose median tonnage is 4,782 GT; within it this ship is the 22nd largest. Across the whole of the 1980s the registry holds 13,213 vessels, median 3,004 GT. The median build year across the entire registry is 1995.

The registry attributes 1,092 vessels to HD Hyundai Heavy Industries, with a median tonnage of 65,131 GT, delivered between 1970 and 2025. See the rest of that yard’s output.

At 267.3 m overall, Zetland is 77.3 m longer than the 190.0 m median for bulk carriers on record.

IMO numbers are issued in broadly chronological blocks. Within 500 either side of 8412649 this registry holds 49 other vessels, whose median build year is 1985 and which range from 1983 to 1988. That places this hull’s registration in the same part of the series, consistent with its recorded build year of 1985.

Its IMO number, 8412649, carries its own check digit. The first six digits are weighted seven down to two and summed — 8×7 + 4×6 + 1×5 + 2×4 + 6×3 + 4×2 = 119 — and the last digit of that total, 9, must equal the seventh digit, 9. It does, so this number is well formed.
