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 35,881 gross tons, Norasia Alya is the 15,840th 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 6.0 times the typical vessel on record here. The largest measures 499,167 GT.
Among the 3,881 container ships held here, it ranks 1,789th by tonnage — larger than 52% 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.
Cyprus is the country of registry for 1,418 vessels in this directory, of which Norasia Alya is the 337th largest by tonnage. The most common class under that flag is vessels this registry holds no type classification for (915 ships), and the median vessel measures 15,666 GT. Browse every ship flagged Cyprus.
Narrowing to both dimensions at once, this registry holds 95 container ships flying the Cyprus flag, of which 20 are larger by tonnage.
Norasia Alya was built in 2004, making it 22 years old. It is one of 1,485 hulls in this registry delivered that year, a cohort whose median tonnage is 17,188 GT; within it this ship is the 404th 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 309 vessels to Szczecin Shipyard, with a median tonnage of 16,639 GT, delivered between 1956 and 2014. See the rest of that yard’s output.
At 220.0 m overall, Norasia Alya is 1.6 m shorter than the 221.6 m median for container ships on record and a draft of 12.0 m.
IMO numbers are issued in broadly chronological blocks. Within 500 either side of 9237486 this registry holds 75 other vessels. 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, 9237486, carries its own check digit. The first six digits are weighted seven down to two and summed — 9×7 + 2×6 + 3×5 + 7×4 + 4×3 + 8×2 = 146 — and the last digit of that total, 6, must equal the seventh digit, 6. It does, so this number is well formed.
