ASTRON W — Passenger · IMO 9685865

ASTRON W has not broadcast an AIS position for 32 days. The most recent broadcast placed it in the North Atlantic Ocean, on 6 Oct 2026, 00:19 UTC. It was sailing from ST JOHN BAY to ST JOHN BAY. Vessels stop appearing on terrestrial AIS when they move beyond receiver range, so a gap does not necessarily mean the vessel is inactive.

ASTRON W broadcasts MMSI 316054722 and is registered as IMO 9685865. 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.

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

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.

As a passenger, ASTRON W sits in the same design class as the other passengers listed in the Similar Vessels section of the vessel page, or in the full passenger directory at /vessel-type/passenger.
