In brief
HMAS Sirius (O 266) (formerly MT Delos) was a commercial tanker purchased by the Royal Australian Navy and converted into a fleet replenishment vessel to replace HMAS Westralia. She was named in honour of HMS Sirius of the First Fleet. Launched in South Korea on 2004, and converted in Western Australia, Sirius was commissioned in 2006; three years before a purpose-built vessel would have been built, and at half the cost. The tanker was decommissioned in 2021 and subsequently scrapped.

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 25,382 gross tons, HMAS Sirius is the 22,845th 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 4.2 times 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 12,771st by tonnage — larger than 74% 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.
Australia is the country of registry for 466 vessels in this directory, of which HMAS Sirius is the 27th largest by tonnage. The most common class under that flag is vessels this registry holds no type classification for (351 ships), and the median vessel measures 439 GT. Browse every ship flagged Australia.
Narrowing to both dimensions at once, this registry holds 351 vessels this registry holds no type classification for flying the Australia flag, of which 9 are larger by tonnage.
HMAS Sirius was built in 2004, making it 22 years old. It is one of 1,485 hulls in this registry delivered that year, a cohort whose median tonnage is 17,188 GT; within it this ship is the 599th 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 1,092 vessels to HD Hyundai Heavy Industries, with a median tonnage of 65,131 GT, delivered between 1970 and 2025. See the rest of that yard’s output.
At 176.0 m overall, HMAS Sirius is 61.0 m longer than the 115.0 m median for vessels this registry holds no type classification for on record, with a beam of 32.0 m and a draft of 11.0 m.
IMO numbers are issued in broadly chronological blocks. Within 500 either side of 9283772 this registry holds 79 other vessels, whose median build year is 2004 and which range from 2003 to 2006. That places this hull’s registration in the same part of the series, consistent with its recorded build year of 2004.
Its IMO number, 9283772, carries its own check digit. The first six digits are weighted seven down to two and summed — 9×7 + 2×6 + 8×5 + 3×4 + 7×3 + 7×2 = 162 — and the last digit of that total, 2, must equal the seventh digit, 2. It does, so this number is well formed.
Record
Events recorded against this vessel in the source, with the dates the source gives. An event with no date is listed last rather than assigned one.
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.
