Question 1

Where is AFRICA MERCY right now?

Accepted Answer

AFRICA MERCY has not broadcast an AIS position for 30 days. The most recent broadcast placed it in the Mozambique Channel, on 9 Aug 2026, 09:04 UTC. It was sailing from DURBAN to TOAMASINA. 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 AFRICA MERCY?

Accepted Answer

AFRICA MERCY broadcasts MMSI 248428000 and is registered as IMO 7803188, with call sign 9HEC6. 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 AFRICA MERCY?

Accepted Answer

AFRICA MERCY is classified as a passenger vessel registered under the MT 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 MT flag list at /flag/mt.
