BOOTES — Fishing · IMO 8620179

BOOTES has not broadcast an AIS position for 32 days. The most recent broadcast placed it in the Barents Sea, on 5 Oct 2026, 06:19 UTC. It was sailing from MURMANSK to MURMANSK. Vessels stop appearing on terrestrial AIS when they move beyond receiver range, so a gap does not necessarily mean the vessel is inactive.

BOOTES broadcasts MMSI 273217010 and is registered as IMO 8620179, with call sign UFXX. 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.

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