FRANK DREW has not broadcast an AIS position for 4 days. The most recent broadcast placed it in the North Atlantic Ocean, on 2 Nov 2026, 14:48 UTC. It was sailing from NORFOLK to NORFOLK. Vessels stop appearing on terrestrial AIS when they move beyond receiver range, so a gap does not necessarily mean the vessel is inactive.

FRANK DREW broadcasts MMSI 368731000 and is registered as IMO 9177258, with call sign NKDL. 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.

FRANK DREW is classified as a port tender vessel registered under the US flag. The vessel-type classification is derived from the AIS Type field broadcast by the ship's transponder and full US flag list at /flag/us.
