RANGER III — Passenger · IMO 7618234

RANGER III has not broadcast an AIS position for 15 days. The most recent broadcast placed it in the North Pacific Ocean, on 23 Oct 2026, 15:00 UTC. It was sailing from HOUGHTON to HOUGHTON. Vessels stop appearing on terrestrial AIS when they move beyond receiver range, so a gap does not necessarily mean the vessel is inactive.

RANGER III broadcasts MMSI 338016759 and is registered as IMO 7618234, with call sign WZ2056. 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.

RANGER III is classified as a passenger vessel registered under the US 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 US flag list at /flag/us.

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.

RANGER III is classed by AMERICAN BUREAU OF SHIPPING, the classification society responsible for inspecting the vessel against safety, structural and operational rules. As a passenger, RANGER III 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.
