In context
How Ciudad de Valencia 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 32,581 gross tons, Ciudad de Valencia is the 17,808th 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 5.4 times the typical vessel on record here. The largest measures 499,167 GT.
Among the 1,234 ferrys held here, it ranks 45th by tonnage — larger than 95% of that group. Their median tonnage is 3,908 GT, and the largest tenth begin at 25,454 GT. The flag most often flown by this group is Japan (241 ships). The yard that appears most often against it is Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, with 34 hulls on record.
Italy is the country of registry for 918 vessels in this directory, of which Ciudad de Valencia is the 194th largest by tonnage. The most common class under that flag is vessels this registry holds no type classification for (488 ships), and the median vessel measures 4,975 GT. Browse every ship flagged Italy.
Narrowing to both dimensions at once, this registry holds 97 ferrys flying the Italy flag, of which 14 are larger by tonnage.
Ciudad de Valencia was built in 2020, making it 6 years old. It is one of 984 hulls in this registry delivered that year, a cohort whose median tonnage is 32,720 GT; within it this ship is the 456th largest. Across the whole of the 2020s the registry holds 1,769 vessels, median 29,777 GT. The median build year across the entire registry is 1995.
The registry attributes 13 vessels to Cantiere Navale Visentini, with a median tonnage of 26,904 GT, delivered between 2001 and 2020. See the rest of that yard’s output.
At 203.3 m overall, Ciudad de Valencia is 99.3 m longer than the 104.0 m median for ferrys on record, with a beam of 25.6 m and a draft of 6.5 m.
IMO numbers are issued in broadly chronological blocks. Within 500 either side of 9869722 this registry holds 34 other vessels, whose median build year is 2020 and which range from 2018 to 2026. That places this hull’s registration in the same part of the series, consistent with its recorded build year of 2020.
Its IMO number, 9869722, carries its own check digit. The first six digits are weighted seven down to two and summed — 9×7 + 8×6 + 6×5 + 9×4 + 7×3 + 2×2 = 202 — and the last digit of that total, 2, must equal the seventh digit, 2. It does, so this number is well formed.
