Question 1

Where is THAMES BEAST right now?

Accepted Answer

THAMES BEAST has not broadcast an AIS position for 15 days. The most recent broadcast placed it in the North Sea, on 24 Aug 2026, 13:33 UTC. It was sailing from LONDON to LONDON. 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 THAMES BEAST?

Accepted Answer

THAMES BEAST broadcasts MMSI 235019326, with call sign MFNJ5. 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 THAMES BEAST?

Accepted Answer

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