ARGENT ASTER — Tanker - Hazard C (Minor) · IMO 9379959

ARGENT ASTER has not broadcast an AIS position for 179 days. The most recent broadcast placed it in the North Pacific Ocean, on 11 May 2026, 02:33 UTC. It was sailing from VANCOUVER to CJK. Vessels stop appearing on terrestrial AIS when they move beyond receiver range, so a gap does not necessarily mean the vessel is inactive.

ARGENT ASTER broadcasts MMSI 372956000 and is registered as IMO 9379959, with call sign 3ELI8. 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.

ARGENT ASTER is classified as a tanker - hazard c (minor) 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 - hazard c (minor) fleet at /vessel-type/tanker and full PA flag list at /flag/pa.
