Frequently Asked Questions

Where is HORTON right now?+
HORTON has not broadcast an AIS position for 14 days. The most recent broadcast placed it in the North Sea, on 25 Aug 2026, 10:01 UTC. It was sailing from NORTHFLEET to GRAVESEND. Vessels stop appearing on terrestrial AIS when they move beyond receiver range, so a gap does not necessarily mean the vessel is inactive.
What are the identifiers for HORTON?+
HORTON broadcasts MMSI 235055709, with call sign 2XZQ. 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.
What type of ship is HORTON?+
HORTON is classified as a tug vessel registered under the GB flag. The vessel-type classification is derived from the AIS Type field broadcast by the ship's transponder; full tug fleet at /vessel-type/tug-pilot-vessel and full GB flag list at /flag/gb.

How often is HORTON's position updated?+
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.
