How Rigel II 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 23,842 gross tons, Rigel II is the 23,834th 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 4.0 times 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 13,283rd by tonnage — larger than 73% 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.

Cyprus is the country of registry for 1,418 vessels in this directory, of which Rigel II is the 458th 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 915 vessels this registry holds no type classification for flying the Cyprus flag, of which 300 are larger by tonnage.

Rigel II was built in 1980, making it 46 years old. It is one of 1,736 hulls in this registry delivered that year, a cohort whose median tonnage is 2,301 GT; within it this ship is the 131st 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 50 vessels to Öresund shipyard, with a median tonnage of 20,418 GT, delivered between 1921 and 2000. See the rest of that yard’s output.

At 146.1 m overall, Rigel II is 31.1 m longer than the 115.0 m median for vessels this registry holds no type classification for on record, with a beam of 25.9 m and a draft of 5.7 m.

IMO numbers are issued in broadly chronological blocks. Within 500 either side of 7826788 this registry holds 42 other vessels, whose median build year is 1979 and which range from 1978 to 1983. That places this hull’s registration in the same part of the series, consistent with its recorded build year of 1980.

Its IMO number, 7826788, carries its own check digit. The first six digits are weighted seven down to two and summed — 7×7 + 8×6 + 2×5 + 6×4 + 7×3 + 8×2 = 168 — and the last digit of that total, 8, must equal the seventh digit, 8. It does, so this number is well formed.
