HOUSTON FORET — Local Vessel · IMO 100633661

HOUSTON FORET has not broadcast an AIS position for 197 days. The most recent broadcast placed it in the Gulf of Mexico, on 23 Apr 2026, 23:45 UTC. It was sailing from PORT ARTHUR to BOLIVAR. Vessels stop appearing on terrestrial AIS when they move beyond receiver range, so a gap does not necessarily mean the vessel is inactive.

HOUSTON FORET broadcasts MMSI 367588960 and is registered as IMO 100633661, with call sign WDG9555. 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.

HOUSTON FORET is classified as a local vessel vessel registered under the US flag. The vessel-type classification is derived from the AIS Type field broadcast by the ship's transponder; full local vessel fleet at /vessel-type/cargo and full US flag list at /flag/us.
