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 61,991 gross tons, Gallileo is the 7,661st 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 10 times the typical vessel on record here. The largest measures 499,167 GT.
Among the 3,060 oil tankers held here, it ranks 670th by tonnage — larger than 77% of that group. Their median tonnage is 22,184 GT, and the largest tenth begin at 149,274 GT. The flag most often flown by this group is Panama (301 ships). The yard that appears most often against it is HD Hyundai Mipo, with 190 hulls on record.
Russia is the country of registry for 2,810 vessels in this directory, of which Gallileo is the 9th largest by tonnage. The most common class under that flag is vessels this registry holds no type classification for (830 ships), and the median vessel measures 2,293 GT. Browse every ship flagged Russia.
Narrowing to both dimensions at once, this registry holds 188 oil tankers flying the Russia flag, of which 3 are larger by tonnage.
Gallileo was built in 2003, making it 23 years old. It is one of 1,383 hulls in this registry delivered that year, a cohort whose median tonnage is 11,954 GT; within it this ship is the 171st largest. Across the whole of the 2000s the registry holds 18,605 vessels, median 9,957 GT. The median build year across the entire registry is 1995.
The registry attributes 13 vessels to Sanoyas Hishino Meisho, with a median tonnage of 27,962 GT, delivered between 1966 and 2016. See the rest of that yard’s output.
At 249.0 m overall, Gallileo is 70.0 m longer than the 179.0 m median for oil tankers on record, with a beam of 44.0 m and a draft of 14.8 m.
IMO numbers are issued in broadly chronological blocks. Within 500 either side of 9256860 this registry holds 72 other vessels, whose median build year is 2003. That places this hull’s registration in the same part of the series.

Measurements
Its IMO number, 9256860, carries its own check digit. The first six digits are weighted seven down to two and summed — 9×7 + 2×6 + 5×5 + 6×4 + 8×3 + 6×2 = 160 — and the last digit of that total, 0, must equal the seventh digit, 0. It does, so this number is well formed.
