ELKA CASSIAN — Tanker · IMO 9249336

ELKA CASSIAN has not broadcast an AIS position for 187 days. The most recent broadcast placed it in the South China Sea, on 6 May 2026, 02:25 UTC. It was sailing from DONG GUAN to BOLIVAR ROADS ANCH. Vessels stop appearing on terrestrial AIS when they move beyond receiver range, so a gap does not necessarily mean the vessel is inactive.

ELKA CASSIAN broadcasts MMSI 357261000 and is registered as IMO 9249336, with call sign HOWO. 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.

ELKA CASSIAN 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.

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.

ELKA CASSIAN is classed by NIPPON KAIJI KYOKAI (NKK), the classification society responsible for inspecting the vessel against safety, structural and operational rules.
