ORFEAS — Tanker · IMO 9358917

ORFEAS has not broadcast an AIS position for 96 days. The most recent broadcast placed it in the East China Sea, on 3 Aug 2026, 03:18 UTC. It was sailing from ST CROIX to MUNDRA. Vessels stop appearing on terrestrial AIS when they move beyond receiver range, so a gap does not necessarily mean the vessel is inactive.

ORFEAS broadcasts MMSI 309286000 and is registered as IMO 9358917, with call sign C6WM6 . 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.

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

MarineRadar shows the latest AIS broadcast from ORFEAS 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.

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.

ORFEAS is classed by BUREAU VERITAS, the classification society responsible for inspecting the vessel against safety, structural and operational rules. As a tanker, ORFEAS sits in the same design class as the other tankers listed in the Similar Vessels section of the vessel page, or in the full tanker directory at /vessel-type/tanker. ORFEAS has a gross tonnage of 42,048 GT.
