Frequently Asked Questions

Where is AURORA right now?+
AURORA has not broadcast an AIS position for 3 days. The most recent broadcast placed it in the North Pacific Ocean, on 5 Sep 2026, 04:56 UTC. It was sailing from HONOLULU to SEATTLE. Vessels stop appearing on terrestrial AIS when they move beyond receiver range, so a gap does not necessarily mean the vessel is inactive.
What are the identifiers for AURORA?+
AURORA broadcasts MMSI 367707480 and is registered as IMO 9794680, with call sign WDM6852. 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.
What type of ship is AURORA?+
AURORA is classified as a tug vessel registered under the US flag. The vessel-type classification is derived from the AIS Type field broadcast by the ship's transponder; full tug fleet at /vessel-type/tug-pilot-vessel and full US flag list at /flag/us.
How can I see the live position of AURORA?+
MarineRadar shows the latest AIS broadcast from AURORA above, with current position, course, speed, and navigation status. Tap "View on map" to centre the live tracker on the vessel and watch its movement update in real time. The same data is available offline-friendly in the iOS and Android apps.
How often is AURORA's position updated?+
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.
