Question 1

Where is NEW VIGOROUS right now?

Accepted Answer

NEW VIGOROUS has not broadcast an AIS position for 8 days. The most recent broadcast placed it in the South Atlantic Ocean, on 31 Aug 2026, 13:40 UTC. It was sailing from GEBIG to QINGDAO. 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 NEW VIGOROUS?

Accepted Answer
