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 163,922 gross tons, Mozah is the 483rd 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 27 times the typical vessel on record here. The largest measures 499,167 GT.
Among the 270 lng carriers held here, it ranks 5th by tonnage — larger than 95% of that group. Their median tonnage is 105,826 GT, and the largest tenth begin at 128,416 GT. The flag most often flown by this group is Marshall Islands (37 ships). The yard that appears most often against it is Samsung Heavy Industries, with 39 hulls on record.
Marshall Islands is the country of registry for 3,838 vessels in this directory, of which Mozah is the 38th largest by tonnage. The most common class under that flag is vessels this registry holds no type classification for (2,407 ships), and the median vessel measures 32,987 GT. Browse every ship flagged Marshall Islands.
Narrowing to both dimensions at once, this registry holds 37 lng carriers flying the Marshall Islands flag, of which 2 are larger by tonnage.
Mozah was built in 2008, making it 18 years old. It is one of 2,764 hulls in this registry delivered that year, a cohort whose median tonnage is 8,971 GT; within it this ship is the 8th 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 826 vessels to Samsung Heavy Industries, with a median tonnage of 75,201 GT, delivered between 1980 and 2025. See the rest of that yard’s output.
At 345.0 m overall, Mozah is 57.0 m longer than the 288.0 m median for lng carriers on record, with a beam of 53.0 m and a draft of 12.0 m.
IMO numbers are issued in broadly chronological blocks. Within 500 either side of 9337755 this registry holds 73 other vessels, whose median build year is 2007 and which range from 2004 to 2009. That places this hull’s registration in the same part of the series, consistent with its recorded build year of 2008.
Its IMO number, 9337755, carries its own check digit. The first six digits are weighted seven down to two and summed — 9×7 + 3×6 + 3×5 + 7×4 + 7×3 + 5×2 = 155 — and the last digit of that total, 5, must equal the seventh digit, 5. It does, so this number is well formed.
