HIGHLAND CHIEFTAIN — Cargo · IMO 9639359

HIGHLAND CHIEFTAIN has not broadcast an AIS position for 16 days. The most recent broadcast placed it in the Mediterranean Sea, on 21 Oct 2026, 11:48 UTC. It was sailing from HAIFA to LIMASSOL. Vessels stop appearing on terrestrial AIS when they move beyond receiver range, so a gap does not necessarily mean the vessel is inactive.

HIGHLAND CHIEFTAIN broadcasts MMSI 235094269 and is registered as IMO 9639359, with call sign 2FUD2. 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.

HIGHLAND CHIEFTAIN 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.
