HEKTOR — Tug · IMO 8222355

HEKTOR has not broadcast an AIS position for 116 days. The most recent broadcast placed it in the Baltic Sea, on 13 Jul 2026, 18:02 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.

HEKTOR broadcasts MMSI 261498000 and is registered as IMO 8222355, with call sign SQMH. 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.

HEKTOR 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.

HEKTOR is classed by POLSKI REJESTR STATKOW, the classification society responsible for inspecting the vessel against safety, structural and operational rules. As a tug, HEKTOR 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. HEKTOR has a gross tonnage of 113 GT.
