FLORA — Tanker · IMO 8943234

FLORA has not broadcast an AIS position for 1021 days. The most recent broadcast placed it in the South China Sea, on 22 Jan 2024, 07:08 UTC. It was sailing from AL BASRAH to GOLA. Vessels stop appearing on terrestrial AIS when they move beyond receiver range, so a gap does not necessarily mean the vessel is inactive.

FLORA broadcasts MMSI 372560000 and is registered as IMO 8943234, with call sign 3FOJ2. 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.

FLORA 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.

MarineRadar shows the latest AIS broadcast from FLORA 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.

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.

FLORA is classed by AMERICAN BUREAU OF SHIPPING, the classification society responsible for inspecting the vessel against safety, structural and operational rules. As a tanker, FLORA 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. FLORA has a gross tonnage of 156,915 GT.
