TEXEL ISLAND — Cargo · IMO 9640059

TEXEL ISLAND has not broadcast an AIS position for 89 days. The most recent broadcast placed it in the North Atlantic Ocean, on 9 Aug 2026, 19:09 UTC. It was sailing from LYTTELTON to KANDLA. Vessels stop appearing on terrestrial AIS when they move beyond receiver range, so a gap does not necessarily mean the vessel is inactive.

TEXEL ISLAND broadcasts MMSI 477468800 and is registered as IMO 9640059, with call sign VRTD6. 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.

TEXEL ISLAND 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, TEXEL ISLAND 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.
