Frequently Asked Questions

It was sailing from SAULT STE MARIE to SAULT STE MARIE. Vessels stop appearing on terrestrial AIS when they move beyond receiver range, so a gap does not necessarily mean the vessel is inactive.

ADANAC III broadcasts MMSI 316004054 and is registered as IMO 8745333, with call sign VLCT. 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.
