In brief

About ARA General San Martín

Full article ↗

ARA General San Martín was the first icebreaker of the Argentine Navy. She participated in several Antarctic campaigns of Argentina between 1954 and 1982. She received the name of José de San Martín.
For twenty-five years she drew his sea routes in the southern seas, which enabled the summer and winter campaigns. She carried out numerous research and relief assistance missions to ships, navigators and expeditionaries; she facilitated the foundation of refuges and Antarctic bases, the replacement of the endowments, the exploration of the Weddell Sea and the accomplishment of oceanographic tasks, hydrographic and meteorological investigations in Argentine Antarctica.

How ARA General San Martín 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.

Argentina is the country of registry for 296 vessels in this directory. The most common class under that flag is vessels this registry holds no type classification for (222 ships), and the median vessel measures 628 GT. Browse every ship flagged Argentina.

Narrowing to both dimensions at once, this registry holds 3 research / surveys flying the Argentina flag.

The registry attributes 57 vessels to AG Weser, with a median tonnage of 10,552 GT, delivered between 1906 and 1981. See the rest of that yard’s output.

At 85.0 m overall, ARA General San Martín is 14.0 m longer than the 71.0 m median for research / surveys on record, with a beam of 18.6 m and a draft of 9.8 m.

IMO numbers are issued in broadly chronological blocks. Within 500 either side of 5128039 this registry holds 10 other vessels, whose median build year is 1953 and which range from 1935 to 1961. That places this hull’s registration in the same part of the series; no build year is recorded for this vessel itself.

Its IMO number, 5128039, carries its own check digit. The first six digits are weighted seven down to two and summed — 5×7 + 1×6 + 2×5 + 8×4 + 0×3 + 3×2 = 89 — and the last digit of that total, 9, must equal the seventh digit, 9. It does, so this number is well formed.
