KATHY OCEAN — Cargo · IMO 9272785

KATHY OCEAN has not broadcast an AIS position for 179 days. The most recent broadcast placed it in the South China Sea, on 12 May 2026, 02:56 UTC. It was sailing from TIANJIN to SHANGHAI. Vessels stop appearing on terrestrial AIS when they move beyond receiver range, so a gap does not necessarily mean the vessel is inactive.

KATHY OCEAN broadcasts MMSI 352002959 and is registered as IMO 9272785, with call sign 3E4713. 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.

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

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.
