Question 1

Where is BENI right now?

Accepted Answer

BENI has not broadcast an AIS position for 7 days. The most recent broadcast placed it in the North Sea, on 1 Sep 2026, 22:16 UTC. It was sailing from SANDNES to STAVANGER. 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 BENI?

Accepted Answer

BENI broadcasts MMSI 257055630, with call sign LF6314. 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 BENI?

Accepted Answer

BENI is classified as a port tender vessel registered under the NO flag. The vessel-type classification is derived from the AIS Type field broadcast by the ship's transponder and full NO flag list at /flag/no.

Question 5

How often is BENI's position updated?

Accepted Answer

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.
