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 50,538 gross tons, MSC Claudia is the 9,900th 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 3,881 container ships held here, it ranks 1,374th by tonnage — larger than 63% of that group. Their median tonnage is 33,698 GT, and the largest tenth begin at 140,096 GT. The flag most often flown by this group is Liberia (498 ships). The yard that appears most often against it is HD Hyundai Heavy Industries, with 348 hulls on record.
Liberia is the country of registry for 4,741 vessels in this directory, of which MSC Claudia is the 1,372nd largest by tonnage.

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.

IMO numbers are issued in broadly chronological blocks. Within 500 either side of 8803410 this registry holds 25 other vessels, whose median build year is 1989. 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, 8803410, carries its own check digit. The first six digits are weighted seven down to two and summed — 8×7 + 8×6 + 0×5 + 3×4 + 4×3 + 1×2 = 130 — and the last digit of that total, 0, must equal the seventh digit, 0. It does, so this number is well formed.
