OTAGO BAY — Cargo · IMO 9782015

OTAGO BAY has not broadcast an AIS position for 157 days. The most recent broadcast placed it in the Yellow Sea, on 4 Jun 2026, 20:23 UTC. It was sailing from VANCOUVER to LANSHAN. Vessels stop appearing on terrestrial AIS when they move beyond receiver range, so a gap does not necessarily mean the vessel is inactive.

OTAGO BAY broadcasts MMSI 477023600 and is registered as IMO 9782015, with call sign VRQK3. 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.

OTAGO BAY is classified as a cargo vessel registered under the HK 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 HK flag list at /flag/hk.

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 cargo, OTAGO BAY sits in the same design class as the other cargos listed in the Similar Vessels section of the vessel page, or in the full cargo directory at /vessel-type/cargo.
