TSC SAAM — Tug · IMO 9503017

TSC SAAM has not broadcast an AIS position for 4 days. The most recent broadcast placed it in the Persian Gulf, on 2 Nov 2026, 19:40 UTC. It was sailing from DUBAI to DUBAI. Vessels stop appearing on terrestrial AIS when they move beyond receiver range, so a gap does not necessarily mean the vessel is inactive.

TSC SAAM broadcasts MMSI 341555000 and is registered as IMO 9503017, with call sign V4TG3 . 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.

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