In context
How Saga Fortune 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 37,441 gross tons, Saga Fortune is the 14,941st 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 6.2 times the typical vessel on record here. The largest measures 499,167 GT.
Among the 6,242 general cargos held here, it ranks 49th by tonnage — larger than 99% of that group. Their median tonnage is 2,963 GT, and the largest tenth begin at 10,970 GT. The flag most often flown by this group is Panama (565 ships). The yard that appears most often against it is Cestné a Stavebné Mechanizmy Tisovec, with 137 hulls on record.
Hong Kong is the country of registry for 2,385 vessels in this directory, of which Saga Fortune is the 1,010th largest by tonnage. The most common class under that flag is vessels this registry holds no type classification for (1,478 ships), and the median vessel measures 33,042 GT. Browse every ship flagged Hong Kong.
Narrowing to both dimensions at once, this registry holds 88 general cargos flying the Hong Kong flag, of which 3 are larger by tonnage.
Saga Fortune was built in 2012, making it 14 years old. It is one of 2,747 hulls in this registry delivered that year, a cohort whose median tonnage is 23,456 GT; within it this ship is the 861st largest. Across the whole of the 2010s the registry holds 20,111 vessels, median 23,456 GT. The median build year across the entire registry is 1995.
The registry attributes 753 vessels to Oshima Shipbuilding, with a median tonnage of 31,871 GT, delivered between 1970 and 2024. See the rest of that yard’s output.
At 199.0 m overall, Saga Fortune is 98.0 m longer than the 101.0 m median for general cargos on record.
IMO numbers are issued in broadly chronological blocks. Within 500 either side of 9644524 this registry holds 56 other vessels, whose median build year is 2012 and which range from 2011 to 2016. That places this hull’s registration in the same part of the series, consistent with its recorded build year of 2012.
Its IMO number, 9644524, carries its own check digit. The first six digits are weighted seven down to two and summed — 9×7 + 6×6 + 4×5 + 4×4 + 5×3 + 2×2 = 154 — and the last digit of that total, 4, must equal the seventh digit, 4. It does, so this number is well formed.
