SEAKING — Tanker · IMO 9602916

SEAKING has not broadcast an AIS position for 20 days. The most recent broadcast placed it in the Sea of Japan, on 20 Oct 2026, 07:45 UTC. It was sailing from NINGBO to YEOSU ANCH. Vessels stop appearing on terrestrial AIS when they move beyond receiver range, so a gap does not necessarily mean the vessel is inactive.

SEAKING broadcasts MMSI 256727000 and is registered as IMO 9602916, with call sign 9HA5950. 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.

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

SEAKING is classed by AMERICAN BUREAU OF SHIPPING, the classification society responsible for inspecting the vessel against safety, structural and operational rules. As a tanker, SEAKING sits in the same design class as the other tankers listed in the Similar Vessels section of the vessel page, or in the full tanker directory at /vessel-type/tanker. SEAKING has a gross tonnage of 160,987 GT.
