In context
How Vizzavona 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 30,144 gross tons, Vizzavona is the 19,178th 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 5.0 times the typical vessel on record here. The largest measures 499,167 GT.
Among the 1,234 ferrys held here, it ranks 58th by tonnage — larger than 94% of that group. Their median tonnage is 3,908 GT, and the largest tenth begin at 25,454 GT. The flag most often flown by this group is Japan (241 ships). The yard that appears most often against it is Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, with 34 hulls on record.
France is the country of registry for 517 vessels in this directory, of which Vizzavona is the 73rd largest by tonnage. The most common class under that flag is vessels this registry holds no type classification for (313 ships), and the median vessel measures 2,161 GT. Browse every ship flagged France.
Narrowing to both dimensions at once, this registry holds 10 ferrys flying the France flag, of which 3 are larger by tonnage.
Vizzavona was built in 1999, making it 27 years old. It is one of 1,252 hulls in this registry delivered that year, a cohort whose median tonnage is 8,594 GT; within it this ship is the 269th largest. Across the whole of the 1990s the registry holds 12,006 vessels, median 4,956 GT. The median build year across the entire registry is 1995.
At 188.0 m overall, Vizzavona is 84.0 m longer than the 104.0 m median for ferrys on record.
IMO numbers are issued in broadly chronological blocks. Within 500 either side of 9138006 this registry holds 73 other vessels, whose median build year is 1997 and which range from 1991 to 2001. That places this hull’s registration in the same part of the series, consistent with its recorded build year of 1999.
Its IMO number, 9138006, carries its own check digit. The first six digits are weighted seven down to two and summed — 9×7 + 1×6 + 3×5 + 8×4 + 0×3 + 0×2 = 116 — and the last digit of that total, 6, must equal the seventh digit, 6. It does, so this number is well formed.
