AFRICAN PIPER — Cargo · IMO 9692777

AFRICAN PIPER has not broadcast an AIS position for 85 days. The most recent broadcast placed it in the North Atlantic Ocean, on 14 Aug 2026, 02:13 UTC. It was sailing from KANDLA to CIGADING. Vessels stop appearing on terrestrial AIS when they move beyond receiver range, so a gap does not necessarily mean the vessel is inactive.

AFRICAN PIPER broadcasts MMSI 311000316 and is registered as IMO 9692777, with call sign C6BO2. 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.

AFRICAN PIPER is classified as a cargo vessel registered under the BS 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 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.

AFRICAN PIPER is classed by NIPPON KAIJI KYOKAI (NKK), the classification society responsible for inspecting the vessel against safety, structural and operational rules. As a cargo, AFRICAN PIPER 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.
