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 135,500 gross tons, Adora Magic City is the 1,870th 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 23 times the typical vessel on record here. The largest measures 499,167 GT.
Among the 665 cruise ships held here, it ranks 65th by tonnage — larger than 87% 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.
The registry attributes 3 vessels to Shanghai Waigaoqiao Shipbuilding Co., Ltd., with a median tonnage of 3,800 GT, delivered between 2020 and 2020. See the rest of that yard’s output.
At 323.6 m overall, Adora Magic City is 125.5 m longer than the 198.1 m median for cruise ships on record, with a beam of 37.2 m and a draft of 8.6 m.
IMO numbers are issued in broadly chronological blocks. Within 500 either side of 9871036 this registry holds 31 other vessels, whose median build year is 2020 and which range from 2018 to 2023. That places this hull’s registration in the same part of the series; no build year is recorded for this vessel itself.
Its IMO number, 9871036, carries its own check digit. The first six digits are weighted seven down to two and summed — 9×7 + 8×6 + 7×5 + 1×4 + 0×3 + 3×2 = 156 — and the last digit of that total, 6, must equal the seventh digit, 6. It does, so this number is well formed.
