HELGOLAND — Cargo · IMO 6417657

HELGOLAND has not broadcast an AIS position for 49 days. The most recent broadcast placed it in the North Sea, on 18 Sep 2026, 11:26 UTC. It was sailing from KRIMPEN AAN DE LEK to SLIKKERVEER. Vessels stop appearing on terrestrial AIS when they move beyond receiver range, so a gap does not necessarily mean the vessel is inactive.

HELGOLAND broadcasts MMSI 211286500 and is registered as IMO 6417657, with call sign DNFD. 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.

HELGOLAND is classified as a cargo vessel registered under the DE flag. The vessel-type classification is derived from the AIS Type field broadcast by the ship's transponder; full cargo fleet at /vessel-type/cargo and full DE flag list at /flag/de.

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.

HELGOLAND is classed by GERMANISCHER LLOYD, the classification society responsible for inspecting the vessel against safety, structural and operational rules. As a cargo, HELGOLAND sits in the same design class as the other cargos listed in the Similar Vessels section of the vessel page, or in the full cargo directory at /vessel-type/cargo. HELGOLAND has a gross tonnage of 385 GT.
