MARTENS 17 — Tanker · MMSI 244820392

MARTENS 17 has not broadcast an AIS position for 192 days. The most recent broadcast placed it in the North Sea, on 28 Apr 2026, 17:14 UTC. It was sailing from SAS VAN GENT to TERNEUZEN. Vessels stop appearing on terrestrial AIS when they move beyond receiver range, so a gap does not necessarily mean the vessel is inactive.

MARTENS 17 broadcasts MMSI 244820392, with call sign PE8715. 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.

MARTENS 17 is classified as a tanker vessel registered under the NL flag. The vessel-type classification is derived from the AIS Type field broadcast by the ship's transponder; full tanker fleet at /vessel-type/tanker and full NL flag list at /flag/nl.
