GRAND CHARLES — Fishing · IMO 8229377

GRAND CHARLES has not broadcast an AIS position for 11 days. The most recent broadcast placed it in the English Channel, on 27 Oct 2026, 11:02 UTC. It was sailing from FECAMP to DIEPPE. Vessels stop appearing on terrestrial AIS when they move beyond receiver range, so a gap does not necessarily mean the vessel is inactive.

GRAND CHARLES broadcasts MMSI 227554000 and is registered as IMO 8229377, with call sign FQOJ. 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.

GRAND CHARLES is classified as a fishing vessel registered under the FR flag. The vessel-type classification is derived from the AIS Type field broadcast by the ship's transponder; full fishing fleet at /vessel-type/fishing and full FR flag list at /flag/fr.
