In brief
Alexander von Humboldt II is a German sailing ship built as a replacement for the ship Alexander von Humboldt, which had been launched in 1906 and used for sail training since 1988. Constructed by Brenn- und Verformtechnik (BVT) in Bremen, the new ship was launched in 2011.
Just like her predecessor, the Alexander von Humboldt II is operated by Deutsche Stiftung Sail Training in Bremerhaven which offers sail training for people between 14 and 75 years of age.

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 763 gross tons, Alexander von Humboldt II is the 68,511th 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 7.9 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 38,564th by tonnage — larger than 22% 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 Alexander von Humboldt II is the 368th 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 157 are larger by tonnage.
Alexander von Humboldt II was built in 2011, making it 15 years old. It is one of 2,848 hulls in this registry delivered that year, a cohort whose median tonnage is 23,456 GT; within it this ship is the 2,566th 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 1 vessels to Brenn- und Verformtechnik (BVT), Bremen, with a median tonnage of 763 GT, delivered between 2011 and 2011. See the rest of that yard’s output.
At 65.0 m overall, Alexander von Humboldt II is 50.0 m shorter than the 115.0 m median for vessels this registry holds no type classification for on record, with a beam of 10.0 m and a draft of 4.7 m.
IMO numbers are issued in broadly chronological blocks. Within 500 either side of 9618446 this registry holds 69 other vessels, whose median build year is 2012 and which range from 1984 to 2021. That places this hull’s registration in the same part of the series, consistent with its recorded build year of 2011.
Its IMO number, 9618446, carries its own check digit. The first six digits are weighted seven down to two and summed — 9×7 + 6×6 + 1×5 + 8×4 + 4×3 + 4×2 = 156 — and the last digit of that total, 6, must equal the seventh digit, 6. It does, so this number is well formed.
