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 92,866 gross tons, SK Stellar is the 4,125th 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 15 times the typical vessel on record here. The largest measures 499,167 GT.
Among the 270 lng carriers held here, it ranks 197th by tonnage — larger than 20% of that group. Their median tonnage is 105,826 GT, and the largest tenth begin at 128,416 GT. The flag most often flown by this group is Marshall Islands (37 ships). The yard that appears most often against it is Samsung Heavy Industries, with 39 hulls on record.
South Korea is the country of registry for 1,392 vessels in this directory, of which SK Stellar is the 29th largest by tonnage. The most common class under that flag is vessels this registry holds no type classification for (722 ships), and the median vessel measures 2,716 GT. Browse every ship flagged South Korea.
Narrowing to both dimensions at once, this registry holds 11 lng carriers flying the South Korea flag, of which 7 are larger by tonnage.
SK Stellar was built in 2000, making it 26 years old. It is one of 1,296 hulls in this registry delivered that year, a cohort whose median tonnage is 8,737 GT; within it this ship is the 50th 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 826 vessels to Samsung Heavy Industries, with a median tonnage of 75,201 GT, delivered between 1980 and 2025. See the rest of that yard’s output.
At 278.0 m overall, SK Stellar is 10.0 m shorter than the 288.0 m median for lng carriers on record.
IMO numbers are issued in broadly chronological blocks. Within 500 either side of 9180243 this registry holds 57 other vessels, whose median build year is 1999. 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, 9180243, carries its own check digit. The first six digits are weighted seven down to two and summed — 9×7 + 1×6 + 8×5 + 0×4 + 2×3 + 4×2 = 123 — and the last digit of that total, 3, must equal the seventh digit, 3. It does, so this number is well formed.
