In context
How MSC Diletta 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.
Liberia is the country of registry for 4,741 vessels in this directory. The most common class under that flag is vessels this registry holds no type classification for (2,739 ships), and the median vessel measures 32,983 GT. Browse every ship flagged Liberia.
Narrowing to both dimensions at once, this registry holds 498 container ships flying the Liberia flag.
At 399.8 m overall, MSC Diletta is 178.2 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 9897004 this registry holds 7 other vessels, whose median build year is 2020 and which range from 2020 to 2022. That places this hull’s registration in the same part of the series; no build year is recorded for this vessel itself.
Its IMO number, 9897004, carries its own check digit. The first six digits are weighted seven down to two and summed — 9×7 + 8×6 + 9×5 + 7×4 + 0×3 + 0×2 = 184 — and the last digit of that total, 4, must equal the seventh digit, 4. It does, so this number is well formed.
