GRAND CHOICE — Cargo · IMO 9169316

GRAND CHOICE has not broadcast an AIS position for 184 days. The most recent broadcast placed it in the North Pacific Ocean, on 9 May 2026, 07:32 UTC. It was sailing from SHANGHAI to LAZARO CARDENAS. Vessels stop appearing on terrestrial AIS when they move beyond receiver range, so a gap does not necessarily mean the vessel is inactive.

GRAND CHOICE broadcasts MMSI 357247000 and is registered as IMO 9169316, with call sign 3FDW9. 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.

GRAND CHOICE 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.

GRAND CHOICE is classed by KOREAN SHIPPING REGISTER, the classification society responsible for inspecting the vessel against safety, structural and operational rules. As a cargo, GRAND CHOICE 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. GRAND CHOICE has a gross tonnage of 50,309 GT.
