VELA — Passenger · IMO 8674364

VELA has not broadcast an AIS position for 81 days. The most recent broadcast placed it in the South Atlantic Ocean, on 18 Aug 2026, 20:47 UTC. It was sailing from ST GEORGES to ST GEORGES. Vessels stop appearing on terrestrial AIS when they move beyond receiver range, so a gap does not necessarily mean the vessel is inactive.

VELA broadcasts MMSI 341799000 and is registered as IMO 8674364, with call sign V4EK3. 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.

VELA is classified as a passenger vessel registered under the KN 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 KN flag list at /flag/kn.

MarineRadar shows the latest AIS broadcast from VELA above, with current position, course, speed, and navigation status. Tap "View on map" to centre the live tracker on the vessel and watch its movement update in real time. The same data is available offline-friendly in the iOS and Android apps.

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, VELA 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.
