Question 1

Where is NORTH ARM WAVE right now?

Accepted Answer

NORTH ARM WAVE has not broadcast an AIS position for 19 days. The most recent broadcast placed it in the North Pacific Ocean, on 20 Aug 2026, 16:15 UTC. It was sailing from REFUGE COVE to BELLA COOLA. Vessels stop appearing on terrestrial AIS when they move beyond receiver range, so a gap does not necessarily mean the vessel is inactive.

Question 2

What are the identifiers for NORTH ARM WAVE?

Accepted Answer

NORTH ARM WAVE broadcasts MMSI 316005494, with call sign CY6828. 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.

Question 3

What type of ship is NORTH ARM WAVE?

NORTH ARM WAVE is classified as a tug vessel registered under the CA flag. The vessel-type classification is derived from the AIS Type field broadcast by the ship's transponder; full tug fleet at /vessel-type/tug-pilot-vessel and full CA flag list at /flag/ca.
