In context
How MSC Crapolla 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 150,587 gross tons, MSC Crapolla is the 1,456th 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 25 times the typical vessel on record here. The largest measures 499,167 GT.
Among the 3,881 container ships held here, it ranks 247th by tonnage — larger than 93% 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.
MSC Crapolla was built in 2025, making it 1 year old. It is one of 88 hulls in this registry delivered that year, a cohort whose median tonnage is 62,716 GT; within it this ship is the 10th largest. Across the whole of the 2020s the registry holds 1,769 vessels, median 29,777 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 365.9 m overall, MSC Crapolla is 144.3 m longer than the 221.6 m median for container ships on record.
IMO numbers are issued in broadly chronological blocks. Within 500 either side of 9963621 this registry holds 10 other vessels, whose median build year is 2024 and which range from 2023 to 2025. That places this hull’s registration in the same part of the series, consistent with its recorded build year of 2025.
Its IMO number, 9963621, carries its own check digit. The first six digits are weighted seven down to two and summed — 9×7 + 9×6 + 6×5 + 3×4 + 6×3 + 2×2 = 181 — and the last digit of that total, 1, must equal the seventh digit, 1. It does, so this number is well formed.
