Question 1

Where is ALFA right now?

Accepted Answer

ALFA has not broadcast an AIS position for 56 days. The most recent broadcast placed it in the Mediterranean Sea, on 14 Jul 2026, 17:02 UTC. It was sailing from FETHIYE to KAS. 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 ALFA?

Accepted Answer

ALFA broadcasts MMSI 273354250. 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 ALFA?

Accepted Answer

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

Question 4

How can I see the live position of ALFA?

MarineRadar shows the latest AIS broadcast from ALFA above, with current position, course, speed, and navigation status. Tap "View on map" to centre the live tracker on the vessel and watch its movement update in real time. The same data is available offline-friendly in the iOS and Android apps.

Question 5

How often is ALFA'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.

Question 6

What class is ALFA?

Accepted Answer

As a sailing vessel, ALFA sits in the same design class as the other sailing vessels listed in the Similar Vessels section of the vessel page, or in the full sailing vessel directory at /vessel-type/yacht.
