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 138,849 gross tons, FPSO Polvo is the 1,769th 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 911 rig / offshore units held here, it ranks 13th by tonnage — larger than 99% of that group. Their median tonnage is 9,254 GT, and the largest tenth begin at 51,732 GT. The flag most often flown by this group is Liberia (179 ships). The yard that appears most often against it is Hanwha Ocean, with 27 hulls on record.
Panama is the country of registry for 9,598 vessels in this directory, of which FPSO Polvo is the 275th 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 107 rig / offshore units flying the Panama flag, of which 2 are larger by tonnage.
FPSO Polvo was built in 1981, making it 45 years old. It is one of 1,653 hulls in this registry delivered that year, a cohort whose median tonnage is 3,186 GT; within it this ship is the 3rd 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 240 vessels to IHI Marine United, with a median tonnage of 52,902 GT, delivered between 1963 and 2013. See the rest of that yard’s output.
At 340.6 m overall, FPSO Polvo is 266.6 m longer than the 74.0 m median for rig / offshore units on record and a draft of 19.7 m.
IMO numbers are issued in broadly chronological blocks. Within 500 either side of 7822122 this registry holds 53 other vessels, whose median build year is 1979. That places this hull’s registration in the same part of the series.
Same yard, same years
No ship class is recorded for this vessel, so these are not asserted to be sister ships — they are contemporaries from the same builder, shown because that is what the data supports.

Measurements
Its IMO number, 7822122, carries its own check digit. The first six digits are weighted seven down to two and summed — 7×7 + 8×6 + 2×5 + 2×4 + 1×3 + 2×2 = 122 — and the last digit of that total, 2, must equal the seventh digit, 2. It does, so this number is well formed.
