Accepted Answer

ALPHONSE GRANDVAL has not broadcast an AIS position for 21 days. The most recent broadcast placed it in the Mediterranean Sea, on 18 Aug 2026, 10:14 UTC. It was sailing from TOULON to HYERES. Vessels stop appearing on terrestrial AIS when they move beyond receiver range, so a gap does not necessarily mean the vessel is inactive.
