Question 1

Where is MED POLLUX right now?

Accepted Answer

MED POLLUX has not broadcast an AIS position for 12 days. The most recent broadcast placed it in the Mediterranean Sea, on 27 Aug 2026, 18:50 UTC. It was sailing from GIOIA TAURO to GIOIA TAURO. 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 MED POLLUX?

Accepted Answer

MED POLLUX broadcasts MMSI 247425200 and is registered as IMO 9896488, with call sign IODE2  . 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.
