TAPAS — Sailing Vessel · MMSI 244750468

TAPAS has not broadcast an AIS position for 40 days. The most recent broadcast placed it in the North Sea, on 30 Sep 2026, 03:44 UTC. It was sailing from WORMERVEER to AMSTERDAM. Vessels stop appearing on terrestrial AIS when they move beyond receiver range, so a gap does not necessarily mean the vessel is inactive.

TAPAS broadcasts MMSI 244750468. 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.

TAPAS is classified as a sailing vessel vessel registered under the NL flag. The vessel-type classification is derived from the AIS Type field broadcast by the ship's transponder; full sailing vessel fleet at /vessel-type/yacht and full NL flag list at /flag/nl.

MarineRadar shows the latest AIS broadcast from TAPAS above, with current position, course, speed, and navigation status. Tap "View on map" to centre the live tracker on the vessel and watch its movement update in real time. The same data is available offline-friendly in the iOS and Android apps.

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 sailing vessel, TAPAS sits in the same design class as the other sailing vessels listed in the Similar Vessels section of the vessel page, or in the full sailing vessel directory at /vessel-type/yacht.
