SOMTRANS XVII — Wing In Grnd · IMO 9230799

SOMTRANS XVII has not broadcast an AIS position for 13 days. The most recent broadcast placed it in the North Sea, on 27 Oct 2026, 12:09 UTC. It was sailing from HANSWEERT to CHEMPARK DORMAGEN. Vessels stop appearing on terrestrial AIS when they move beyond receiver range, so a gap does not necessarily mean the vessel is inactive.

SOMTRANS XVII broadcasts MMSI 244060298 and is registered as IMO 9230799, with call sign PD4609. 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.

SOMTRANS XVII is classified as a wing in grnd vessel registered under the NL flag. The vessel-type classification is derived from the AIS Type field broadcast by the ship's transponder; full wing in grnd fleet at /vessel-type/high-speed-craft and full NL flag list at /flag/nl.

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.

As a wing in grnd, SOMTRANS XVII sits in the same design class as the other wing in grnds listed in the Similar Vessels section of the vessel page, or in the full wing in grnd directory at /vessel-type/high-speed-craft.
