How Ostfriesland 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 2,596 gross tons, Ostfriesland is the 54,213th 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 2.3 times smaller than the typical vessel on record here. The largest measures 499,167 GT.

Among the 58,086 vessels this registry holds no type classification for held here, it ranks 30,782nd by tonnage — larger than 38% of that group. Their median tonnage is 5,358 GT, and the largest tenth begin at 54,309 GT. The flag most often flown by this group is Panama (5,698 ships). The yard that appears most often against it is HD Hyundai Mipo, with 615 hulls on record.

Germany is the country of registry for 885 vessels in this directory, of which Ostfriesland is the 233rd largest by tonnage. The most common class under that flag is vessels this registry holds no type classification for (446 ships), and the median vessel measures 916 GT. Browse every ship flagged Germany.

Narrowing to both dimensions at once, this registry holds 446 vessels this registry holds no type classification for flying the Germany flag, of which 96 are larger by tonnage.

Ostfriesland was built in 1985, making it 41 years old. It is one of 1,312 hulls in this registry delivered that year, a cohort whose median tonnage is 4,782 GT; within it this ship is the 798th largest. 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.

The registry attributes 45 vessels to Jansen-Werft, with a median tonnage of 2,726 GT, delivered between 1951 and 2016. See the rest of that yard’s output.

At 78.5 m overall, Ostfriesland is 36.5 m shorter than the 115.0 m median for vessels this registry holds no type classification for on record, with a beam of 12.0 m and a draft of 2.6 m.

IMO numbers are issued in broadly chronological blocks. Within 500 either side of 8324622 this registry holds 56 other vessels, whose median build year is 1984 and which range from 1983 to 1994. That places this hull’s registration in the same part of the series, consistent with its recorded build year of 1985.

Its IMO number, 8324622, carries its own check digit. The first six digits are weighted seven down to two and summed — 8×7 + 3×6 + 2×5 + 4×4 + 6×3 + 2×2 = 122 — and the last digit of that total, 2, must equal the seventh digit, 2. It does, so this number is well formed.
