Question 1

Where is BLACK SPIDER II right now?

Accepted Answer

BLACK SPIDER II has not broadcast an AIS position for 135 days. The most recent broadcast placed it in the North Sea, on 12 May 2026, 03:34 UTC. It was sailing from AMSTERDAM to CLASS B. Vessels stop appearing on terrestrial AIS when they move beyond receiver range, so a gap does not necessarily mean the vessel is inactive.

Question 2

What are the identifiers for BLACK SPIDER II?

Accepted Answer

BLACK SPIDER II broadcasts MMSI 244860095, with call sign PA5516. 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.

Question 3

What type of ship is BLACK SPIDER II?

Accepted Answer

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

How often is BLACK SPIDER II's position updated?

Accepted Answer
