Question 1

Where is NPCC YAS right now?

Accepted Answer

NPCC YAS has not broadcast an AIS position for 7 days. The most recent broadcast placed it in the Persian Gulf, on 1 Sep 2026, 06:30 UTC. It was sailing from MUSAFFAH to ZAKUM. 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 NPCC YAS?

Accepted Answer

NPCC YAS broadcasts MMSI 470642000 and is registered as IMO 9554779. 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 NPCC YAS?

Accepted Answer

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

Question 5

How often is NPCC YAS'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.

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