In context
How JCG Bukō 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.
Japan is the country of registry for 2,663 vessels in this directory. The most common class under that flag is vessels this registry holds no type classification for (1,534 ships), and the median vessel measures 764 GT. Browse every ship flagged Japan.
Narrowing to both dimensions at once, this registry holds 66 naval / patrols flying the Japan flag.
JCG Bukō was built in 2012, making it 14 years old. It is one of 2,747 hulls in this registry delivered that year, a cohort whose median tonnage is 23,456 GT. 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 57 vessels to Mitsubishi Heavy Industries Shimonoseki Shipyard & Machinery Works, with a median tonnage of 3,614 GT, delivered between 1967 and 2026. See the rest of that yard’s output.
IMO numbers are issued in broadly chronological blocks. Within 500 either side of 9608336 this registry holds 47 other vessels, whose median build year is 2013 and which range from 2010 to 2022. That places this hull’s registration in the same part of the series, consistent with its recorded build year of 2012.
Its IMO number, 9608336, carries its own check digit. The first six digits are weighted seven down to two and summed — 9×7 + 6×6 + 0×5 + 8×4 + 3×3 + 3×2 = 146 — and the last digit of that total, 6, must equal the seventh digit, 6. It does, so this number is well formed.
