BBC VIRGINIA — Cargo · IMO 9501277

BBC VIRGINIA has not broadcast an AIS position for 5 days. The most recent broadcast placed it in the North Pacific Ocean, on 2 Nov 2026, 20:37 UTC. It was sailing from YAWATA to MOREHEAD CITY. Vessels stop appearing on terrestrial AIS when they move beyond receiver range, so a gap does not necessarily mean the vessel is inactive.

BBC VIRGINIA broadcasts MMSI 305463000 and is registered as IMO 9501277, with call sign V2EK8. 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.

BBC VIRGINIA is classified as a cargo vessel registered under the AG flag. The vessel-type classification is derived from the AIS Type field broadcast by the ship's transponder; full cargo fleet at /vessel-type/cargo and full AG flag list at /flag/ag.

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.

BBC VIRGINIA is classed by GERMANISCHER LLOYD, the classification society responsible for inspecting the vessel against safety, structural and operational rules. As a cargo, BBC VIRGINIA sits in the same design class as the other cargos listed in the Similar Vessels section of the vessel page, or in the full cargo directory at /vessel-type/cargo.
