In brief
Hannover Bridge is a container ship registered in Panama but has a Japanese ship-owner and German name.
The ship carries containers, which is the fastest-developing sector in cargo shipping. Hannover Bridge was built in 2006 in the ship-yard of IHI Marine United in Kure, Hiroshima, Japan. The ship can carry 8,212 TEUs, according to company requirements, but IMO claims that the vessel's capacity is larger than ten thousand. The operator of Hannover Bridge is the container shipping sector of K Line Group, which maintains a fleet of 55 container ships. The gross tonnage of Hannover Bridge is 98,747, the ship's length is 336 metres, and its beam is 46 metres.
The vessel's main diesel engine is a Daewoo and allows to the ship to reach a maximum speed of 24 knots. The cruising speed of Hannover Bridge is 21 knots and the economy speed is 20.5 knots. All these speeds are reached with more than 20% lower consumption of heavy fuel. The emissions of CO2 are decreased in the new innovated diesel engine, which is less harmful to the environment.

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 98,747 gross tons, ONE Hannover is the 3,374th 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 16 times the typical vessel on record here. The largest measures 499,167 GT.
Among the 3,881 container ships held here, it ranks 556th by tonnage — larger than 85% 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.
Panama is the country of registry for 9,598 vessels in this directory, of which ONE Hannover is the 479th largest by tonnage. The most common class under that flag is vessels this registry holds no type classification for (5,698 ships), and the median vessel measures 18,203 GT. Browse every ship flagged Panama.
Narrowing to both dimensions at once, this registry holds 429 container ships flying the Panama flag, of which 79 are larger by tonnage.
ONE Hannover was built in 2006, making it 20 years old. It is one of 2,118 hulls in this registry delivered that year, a cohort whose median tonnage is 8,539 GT; within it this ship is the 61st 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 240 vessels to IHI Marine United, with a median tonnage of 52,902 GT, delivered between 1963 and 2013. See the rest of that yard’s output.
At 336.0 m overall, ONE Hannover is 114.4 m longer than the 221.6 m median for container ships on record, with a beam of 46.0 m and a draft of 14.0 m.
IMO numbers are issued in broadly chronological blocks. Within 500 either side of 9302138 this registry holds 76 other vessels, whose median build year is 2006 and which range from 1970 to 2008. That places this hull’s registration in the same part of the series, consistent with its recorded build year of 2006.
Its IMO number, 9302138, carries its own check digit. The first six digits are weighted seven down to two and summed — 9×7 + 3×6 + 0×5 + 2×4 + 1×3 + 3×2 = 98 — and the last digit of that total, 8, must equal the seventh digit, 8. It does, so this number is well formed.
