FS BITUMEN NO.2 — Tanker · IMO 9796559

FS BITUMEN NO.2 has not broadcast an AIS position for 4 days. The most recent broadcast placed it in the North Pacific Ocean, on 4 Nov 2026, 07:06 UTC. It was sailing from YANGPU to BOTANY. Vessels stop appearing on terrestrial AIS when they move beyond receiver range, so a gap does not necessarily mean the vessel is inactive.

FS BITUMEN NO.2 broadcasts MMSI 371135000 and is registered as IMO 9796559, with call sign 3FPO6. 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.

FS BITUMEN NO.2 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.

As a tanker, FS BITUMEN NO.2 sits in the same design class as the other tankers listed in the Similar Vessels section of the vessel page, or in the full tanker directory at /vessel-type/tanker.
