Question 1

Where is MING RIVER right now?

Accepted Answer

MING RIVER has not broadcast an AIS position for 145 days. The most recent broadcast placed it in the South China Sea, on 17 Mar 2026, 05:22 UTC. It was sailing from HONG KONG to HONG KONG. 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 MING RIVER?

Accepted Answer

MING RIVER broadcasts MMSI 477995424, with call sign VRS4698. 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 MING RIVER?

Accepted Answer

MING RIVER is a maritime vessel registered under the HK flag. The vessel-type classification is derived from the AIS Type field broadcast by the ship's transponder and full HK flag list at /flag/hk.

Question 5

How often is MING RIVER's position updated?

Accepted Answer
