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 3,068 gross tons, Cabo de Hornos (AGS-61) is the 51,324th 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 2.0 times smaller than the typical vessel on record here. The largest measures 499,167 GT.
Among the 612 research / surveys held here, it ranks 192nd by tonnage — larger than 60% of that group. Their median tonnage is 2,180 GT, and the largest tenth begin at 9,452 GT. The flag most often flown by this group is United States (90 ships). The yard that appears most often against it is Wärtsilä, with 36 hulls on record.
Chile is the country of registry for 238 vessels in this directory, of which Cabo de Hornos (AGS-61) is the 48th largest by tonnage. The most common class under that flag is vessels this registry holds no type classification for (142 ships), and the median vessel measures 948 GT. Browse every ship flagged Chile.
Narrowing to both dimensions at once, this registry holds 4 research / surveys flying the Chile flag, of which 1 is larger by tonnage.
Cabo de Hornos (AGS-61) was built in 2013, making it 13 years old. It is one of 2,213 hulls in this registry delivered that year, a cohort whose median tonnage is 22,566 GT; within it this ship is the 1,599th 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 15 vessels to ASMAR, with a median tonnage of 2,233 GT, delivered between 1988 and 2024. See the rest of that yard’s output.
IMO numbers are issued in broadly chronological blocks. Within 500 either side of 9495351 this registry holds 40 other vessels, whose median build year is 2010 and which range from 2006 to 2015. That places this hull’s registration in the same part of the series, consistent with its recorded build year of 2013.
Its IMO number, 9495351, carries its own check digit. The first six digits are weighted seven down to two and summed — 9×7 + 4×6 + 9×5 + 5×4 + 3×3 + 5×2 = 171 — and the last digit of that total, 1, must equal the seventh digit, 1. It does, so this number is well formed.

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.
