ALBATROS has not broadcast an AIS position for 18 days. The most recent broadcast placed it in the North Sea, on 21 Aug 2026, 13:14 UTC. It was sailing from FRANEKER to FRANEKER. Vessels stop appearing on terrestrial AIS when they move beyond receiver range, so a gap does not necessarily mean the vessel is inactive.

ALBATROS broadcasts MMSI 244770385, with call sign PI8508. 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 ALBATROS?+
ALBATROS is classified as a passenger vessel registered under the NL flag. The vessel-type classification is derived from the AIS Type field broadcast by the ship's transponder; full passenger fleet at /vessel-type/passenger and full NL flag list at /flag/nl.
