LYME BAY — Military Ops · IMO 9240768

LYME BAY has not broadcast an AIS position for 13 days. The most recent broadcast placed it in the Indian Ocean, on 24 Oct 2026, 08:28 UTC. It was sailing from MOMBASA 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.

LYME BAY broadcasts MMSI 235051012 and is registered as IMO 9240768. 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.

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