HERKULES — Tug · IMO 9805362

HERKULES has not broadcast an AIS position for 4 days. The most recent broadcast placed it in the Baltic Sea, on 2 Nov 2026, 09:20 UTC. It was sailing from GDANSK to GDANSK. Vessels stop appearing on terrestrial AIS when they move beyond receiver range, so a gap does not necessarily mean the vessel is inactive.

HERKULES broadcasts MMSI 261036130 and is registered as IMO 9805362, with call sign SPG4470. 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.

HERKULES is classified as a tug vessel registered under the PL flag. The vessel-type classification is derived from the AIS Type field broadcast by the ship's transponder; full tug fleet at /vessel-type/tug-pilot-vessel and full PL flag list at /flag/pl.

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.

As a tug, HERKULES sits in the same design class as the other tugs listed in the Similar Vessels section of the vessel page, or in the full tug directory at /vessel-type/tug-pilot-vessel. HERKULES has a gross tonnage of 431 GT.
