Question 1

Where is MERIDIAN 2 right now?

Accepted Answer

MERIDIAN 2 has not broadcast an AIS position for 13 days. The most recent broadcast placed it in the Bay of Bengal, on 27 Jul 2026, 04:07 UTC. It was sailing from COLOMBO to COLOMBO. Vessels stop appearing on terrestrial AIS when they move beyond receiver range, so a gap does not necessarily mean the vessel is inactive.

Question 2

What are the identifiers for MERIDIAN 2?

Accepted Answer

MERIDIAN 2 broadcasts MMSI 417222394, with call sign 4RDF   . 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.

Question 3

What type of ship is MERIDIAN 2?

Accepted Answer

MERIDIAN 2 is classified as a pilot vessel vessel registered under the LK flag. The vessel-type classification is derived from the AIS Type field broadcast by the ship's transponder; full pilot vessel fleet at /vessel-type/tug-pilot-vessel and full LK flag list at /flag/lk.

Question 4

How can I see the live position of MERIDIAN 2?

Accepted Answer

MarineRadar shows the latest AIS broadcast from MERIDIAN 2 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.

Question 5

How often is MERIDIAN 2's position updated?

Accepted Answer

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.

Question 6

What class is MERIDIAN 2?

Accepted Answer

As a pilot vessel, MERIDIAN 2 sits in the same design class as the other pilot vessels listed in the Similar Vessels section of the vessel page, or in the full pilot vessel directory at /vessel-type/tug-pilot-vessel.
