Question 1

Where is SAFEER AL SHUAIBA right now?

Accepted Answer

SAFEER AL SHUAIBA has not broadcast an AIS position for 4 days. The most recent broadcast placed it in the Persian Gulf, on 5 Aug 2026, 12:14 UTC. It was sailing from SHUAIBA to SHUAIBA. Vessels stop appearing on terrestrial AIS when they move beyond receiver range, so a gap does not necessarily mean the vessel is inactive.
