In context

How DCV Aegir 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 50,228 gross tons, DCV Aegir is the 9,940th 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 8.4 times the typical vessel on record here. The largest measures 499,167 GT.

Among the 1,423 offshore supplys held here, it ranks 3rd by tonnage — larger than 100% of that group. Their median tonnage is 2,061 GT, and the largest tenth begin at 4,961 GT. The flag most often flown by this group is United States (283 ships). The yard that appears most often against it is North American Shipbuilding, with 55 hulls on record.

Panama is the country of registry for 9,598 vessels in this directory, of which DCV Aegir is the 1,445th largest by tonnage. The most common class under that flag is vessels this registry holds no type classification for (5,698 ships), and the median vessel measures 18,203 GT. Browse every ship flagged Panama.

Narrowing to both dimensions at once, this registry holds 69 offshore supplys flying the Panama flag, of which none is larger than DCV Aegir.

DCV Aegir was built in 2012, making it 14 years old. It is one of 2,747 hulls in this registry delivered that year, a cohort whose median tonnage is 23,456 GT; within it this ship is the 535th 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 1,090 vessels to Hanwha Ocean, with a median tonnage of 84,214 GT, delivered between 1982 and 2025. See the rest of that yard’s output.

At 211.5 m overall, DCV Aegir is 144.4 m longer than the 67.1 m median for offshore supplys on record, with a beam of 46.2 m and a draft of 11.0 m.

IMO numbers are issued in broadly chronological blocks. Within 500 either side of 9605396 this registry holds 63 other vessels, whose median build year is 2012 and which range from 1965 to 2020. That places this hull’s registration in the same part of the series, consistent with its recorded build year of 2012.

Its IMO number, 9605396, carries its own check digit. The first six digits are weighted seven down to two and summed — 9×7 + 6×6 + 0×5 + 5×4 + 3×3 + 9×2 = 146 — and the last digit of that total, 6, must equal the seventh digit, 6. It does, so this number is well formed.
