KARAN — Tanker · IMO 9384239

KARAN has not broadcast an AIS position for 85 days. The most recent broadcast placed it in the Arabian Sea, on 14 Aug 2026, 02:02 UTC. It was sailing from ULSAN to SINGAPORE. Vessels stop appearing on terrestrial AIS when they move beyond receiver range, so a gap does not necessarily mean the vessel is inactive.

KARAN broadcasts MMSI 403571000 and is registered as IMO 9384239, with call sign HZHF . 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.

KARAN is classified as a tanker vessel registered under the SA 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 SA flag list at /flag/sa.

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.

KARAN is classed by LLOYD'S SHIPPING REGISTER, the classification society responsible for inspecting the vessel against safety, structural and operational rules. As a tanker, KARAN 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. KARAN has a gross tonnage of 162,252 GT.
