KHASIFA — Tug · IMO 9540209

KHASIFA has not broadcast an AIS position for 115 days. The most recent broadcast placed it in the Persian Gulf, on 15 Jul 2026, 05:44 UTC. It was sailing from JEBEL DHANNA to RUWAIS. Vessels stop appearing on terrestrial AIS when they move beyond receiver range, so a gap does not necessarily mean the vessel is inactive.

KHASIFA broadcasts MMSI 470660000 and is registered as IMO 9540209, with call sign A6E2772. 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.

KHASIFA 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.

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.

KHASIFA is classed by BUREAU VERITAS, the classification society responsible for inspecting the vessel against safety, structural and operational rules. As a tug, KHASIFA 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. KHASIFA has a gross tonnage of 464 GT.
