Where is SOFIA right now?+
SOFIA has not broadcast an AIS position for 39 days. The most recent broadcast placed it in the Barents Sea, on 31 Jul 2026, 13:57 UTC. It was sailing from MURMANSK to ANADYR. Vessels stop appearing on terrestrial AIS when they move beyond receiver range, so a gap does not necessarily mean the vessel is inactive.
What are the identifiers for SOFIA?+
SOFIA broadcasts MMSI 273451030 and is registered as IMO 9487732, with call sign UBFS5. 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.
What type of ship is SOFIA?+
SOFIA is classified as a tug vessel registered under the RU 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 RU flag list at /flag/ru.

How often is SOFIA's position updated?+
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.
What class is SOFIA?+
SOFIA is classed by DET NORSKE VERITAS, the classification society responsible for inspecting the vessel against safety, structural and operational rules. As a tug, SOFIA 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.
