Question 1

Where is STEPHEN right now?

Accepted Answer

STEPHEN has not broadcast an AIS position for 17 days. The most recent broadcast placed it in the North Sea, on 23 Aug 2026, 00:05 UTC. It was sailing from PORTLAND UK to PORTLAND UK. 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 STEPHEN?

Accepted Answer

STEPHEN broadcasts MMSI 232048484. 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 STEPHEN?

Accepted Answer

STEPHEN is classified as a pleasure craft vessel registered under the GB flag. The vessel-type classification is derived from the AIS Type field broadcast by the ship's transponder; full pleasure craft fleet at /vessel-type/yacht and full GB flag list at /flag/gb.

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.
