SAM MCBRIDE · IMO 8348472

SAM MCBRIDE has not broadcast an AIS position for 11 days. The most recent broadcast placed it in the North Atlantic Ocean, on 28 Oct 2026, 22:25 UTC. Vessels stop appearing on terrestrial AIS when they move beyond receiver range, so a gap does not necessarily mean the vessel is inactive.

SAM MCBRIDE broadcasts MMSI 316045069 and is registered as IMO 8348472, with call sign VC 4160. 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.

SAM MCBRIDE is a maritime vessel registered under the CA flag. The vessel-type classification is derived from the AIS Type field broadcast by the ship's transponder and full CA flag list at /flag/ca.

MarineRadar shows the latest AIS broadcast from SAM MCBRIDE above, with current position, course, speed, and navigation status.

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.

The vessel's design class is inferred from its dimensions, gross tonnage and dead weight, all of which are listed in the Identity and Specifications panels on the vessel page.
