KIKU — Tanker · IMO 9329796

KIKU has not broadcast an AIS position for 28 days. The most recent broadcast placed it in the Persian Gulf, on 30 Sep 2026, 10:01 UTC. It was sailing from SOHAR ANCH to SOHAR ANCH. Vessels stop appearing on terrestrial AIS when they move beyond receiver range, so a gap does not necessarily mean the vessel is inactive.

KIKU broadcasts MMSI 352002628 and is registered as IMO 9329796, with call sign 3E4953. 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.

KIKU is classified as a tanker vessel registered under the PA flag. The vessel-type classification is derived from the AIS Type field broadcast by the ship's transponder; full tanker fleet at /vessel-type/tanker and full PA flag list at /flag/pa.

MarineRadar shows the latest AIS broadcast from KIKU 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.

KIKU is classed by NIPPON KAIJI KYOKAI (NKK), the classification society responsible for inspecting the vessel against safety, structural and operational rules. As a tanker, KIKU sits in the same design class as the other tankers listed in the Similar Vessels section of the vessel page, or in the full tanker directory at /vessel-type/tanker. KIKU has a gross tonnage of 159,923 GT.
