Question 1

Where is WITTY WHELK right now?

Accepted Answer

WITTY WHELK has not broadcast an AIS position for 14 days. The most recent broadcast placed it in the Mediterranean Sea, on 25 Aug 2026, 15:14 UTC. It was sailing from HENDAYE to HENDAYE. Vessels stop appearing on terrestrial AIS when they move beyond receiver range, so a gap does not necessarily mean the vessel is inactive.

Question 2

What are the identifiers for WITTY WHELK?
