Question 1

Where is ABERFAL right now?

Accepted Answer

ABERFAL has not broadcast an AIS position for 4 days. The most recent broadcast placed it in the English Channel, on 4 Sep 2026, 11:09 UTC. It was sailing from FALMOUTH to CLASS B. 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 ABERFAL?

Accepted Answer

ABERFAL broadcasts MMSI 232007574. 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.

Question 3

What type of ship is ABERFAL?

Accepted Answer

ABERFAL is classified as a port tender vessel registered under the GB flag. The vessel-type classification is derived from the AIS Type field broadcast by the ship's transponder and full GB flag list at /flag/gb.

Question 4

How can I see the live position of ABERFAL?

Tap "View on map" to centre the live tracker on the vessel and watch its movement update in real time. The same data is available offline-friendly in the iOS and Android apps.

Question 5

How often is ABERFAL's position updated?

Accepted Answer

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.

Question 6

Accepted Answer

As a port tender, ABERFAL sits in the same design class as the other port tenders listed in the Similar Vessels section of the vessel page.
