Frequently Asked Questions

+

CYGNUS has not broadcast an AIS position for 6 days. The most recent broadcast placed it in the North Atlantic Ocean, on 31 Oct 2026, 12:30 UTC. It was sailing from ST JOHNS to ST JOHNS. Vessels stop appearing on terrestrial AIS when they move beyond receiver range, so a gap does not necessarily mean the vessel is inactive.

What are the identifiers for CYGNUS?

+

CYGNUS broadcasts MMSI 316017000 and is registered as IMO 7927831, with call sign CGDW. 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.

What type of ship is CYGNUS?

+

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

How often is CYGNUS's position updated?

+

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.
