JIF BARRACUDA — Tug · IMO 9345506

JIF BARRACUDA has not broadcast an AIS position for 20 days. The most recent broadcast placed it in the Persian Gulf, on 17 Oct 2026, 11:27 UTC. It was sailing from HAMRIYA to MINA SAQR ANCH. Vessels stop appearing on terrestrial AIS when they move beyond receiver range, so a gap does not necessarily mean the vessel is inactive.

JIF BARRACUDA broadcasts MMSI 246070000 and is registered as IMO 9345506, with call sign PHFW . 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.

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