NILOS — Cargo · IMO 9311153

NILOS has not broadcast an AIS position for 5 days. The most recent broadcast placed it in the North Pacific Ocean, on 3 Nov 2026, 09:07 UTC. It was sailing from KALAMA to KUSHIRO. Vessels stop appearing on terrestrial AIS when they move beyond receiver range, so a gap does not necessarily mean the vessel is inactive.

NILOS broadcasts MMSI 256683000 and is registered as IMO 9311153, with call sign 9HA3981. 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.

NILOS is classified as a cargo vessel registered under the MT flag. The vessel-type classification is derived from the AIS Type field broadcast by the ship's transponder; full cargo fleet at /vessel-type/cargo and full MT flag list at /flag/mt.

AIS transponders broadcast position every 2 seconds when underway at high speed and up to every 3 minutes at anchor. The position you see refreshes whenever the ship is in range of a coastal AIS receiver or a satellite pass — typically seconds in coastal waters and minutes offshore.

NILOS is classed by BUREAU VERITAS, the classification society responsible for inspecting the vessel against safety, structural and operational rules. As a cargo, NILOS sits in the same design class as the other cargos listed in the Similar Vessels section of the vessel page, or in the full cargo directory at /vessel-type/cargo. NILOS has a gross tonnage of 40,033 GT.
