AL SHAMAL — Tanker · IMO 9360893

AL SHAMAL has not broadcast an AIS position for 5 days. The most recent broadcast placed it in the Arabian Sea, on 2 Nov 2026, 20:00 UTC. It was sailing from TIANJIN to SINGAPORE ANCH. Vessels stop appearing on terrestrial AIS when they move beyond receiver range, so a gap does not necessarily mean the vessel is inactive.

AL SHAMAL broadcasts MMSI 309781000 and is registered as IMO 9360893, with call sign C6VG4. 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.

AL SHAMAL 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.

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.

AL SHAMAL is classed by AMERICAN BUREAU OF SHIPPING, the classification society responsible for inspecting the vessel against safety, structural and operational rules. As a tanker, AL SHAMAL 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.
