OTOTACHIBANA — Cargo · IMO 9603403

OTOTACHIBANA has not broadcast an AIS position for 187 days. The most recent broadcast placed it in the Coral Sea, on 5 May 2026, 00:10 UTC. It was sailing from KASHIMA to KASHIMA. Vessels stop appearing on terrestrial AIS when they move beyond receiver range, so a gap does not necessarily mean the vessel is inactive.

OTOTACHIBANA broadcasts MMSI 431823000 and is registered as IMO 9603403, with call sign 7KMJ. 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.

OTOTACHIBANA is classified as a cargo vessel registered under the JP flag. The vessel-type classification is derived from the AIS Type field broadcast by the ship's transponder; full cargo fleet at /vessel-type/cargo and full JP flag list at /flag/jp.
