JR SOPHIA — Cargo · IMO 9244697

JR SOPHIA has not broadcast an AIS position for 8 days. The most recent broadcast placed it in the Yellow Sea, on 30 Oct 2026, 01:24 UTC. It was sailing from HON GAI to RIZHAO. Vessels stop appearing on terrestrial AIS when they move beyond receiver range, so a gap does not necessarily mean the vessel is inactive.

JR SOPHIA broadcasts MMSI 354885000 and is registered as IMO 9244697, with call sign 3EGD2. 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.

JR SOPHIA 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.

JR SOPHIA is classed by NIPPON KAIJI KYOKAI (NKK), the classification society responsible for inspecting the vessel against safety, structural and operational rules. As a cargo, JR SOPHIA sits in the same design class as the other cargos listed in the Similar Vessels section of the vessel page, or in the full cargo directory at /vessel-type/cargo.
