QUINTESSENTIAL — Sailing Vessel · MMSI 319701000

QUINTESSENTIAL has not broadcast an AIS position for 33 days. The most recent broadcast placed it in the North Pacific Ocean, on 6 Oct 2026, 19:15 UTC. It was sailing from THUNDERBOLT MARINE to THUNDERBOLT MARINE. Vessels stop appearing on terrestrial AIS when they move beyond receiver range, so a gap does not necessarily mean the vessel is inactive.

QUINTESSENTIAL broadcasts MMSI 319701000, with call sign ZGBU. 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.

QUINTESSENTIAL is classified as a sailing vessel vessel registered under the KY flag. The vessel-type classification is derived from the AIS Type field broadcast by the ship's transponder; full sailing vessel fleet at /vessel-type/yacht and full KY flag list at /flag/ky.

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.
