DE SCHELE — SAR · MMSI 205517390

DE SCHELE has not broadcast an AIS position for 138 days. The most recent broadcast placed it in the North Sea, on 22 Jun 2026, 07:43 UTC. It was sailing from ANTWERP to ANTWERP. Vessels stop appearing on terrestrial AIS when they move beyond receiver range, so a gap does not necessarily mean the vessel is inactive.

DE SCHELE broadcasts MMSI 205517390, with call sign OT5173. The MMSI is the radio identifier used by AIS; the IMO number stays with the ship for life and does not change with re-flagging or sale.

DE SCHELE is classified as a sar vessel registered under the BE flag. The vessel-type classification is derived from the AIS Type field broadcast by the ship's transponder; full sar fleet at /vessel-type/tug-pilot-vessel and full BE flag list at /flag/be.

AIS transponders broadcast position every 2 seconds when underway at high speed and up to every 3 minutes at anchor. The position you see refreshes whenever the ship is in range of a coastal AIS receiver or a satellite pass — typically seconds in coastal waters and minutes offshore.

As a sar, DE SCHELE sits in the same design class as the other sars listed in the Similar Vessels section of the vessel page, or in the full sar directory at /vessel-type/tug-pilot-vessel.
