CHEC 9 — Passenger · MMSI 477996391

CHEC 9 has not broadcast an AIS position for 5 days. The most recent broadcast placed it in the South China Sea, on 2 Nov 2026, 04:06 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.

CHEC 9 broadcasts MMSI 477996391, with call sign VRS5642. 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.

CHEC 9 is classified as a passenger vessel registered under the HK flag. The vessel-type classification is derived from the AIS Type field broadcast by the ship's transponder; full passenger fleet at /vessel-type/passenger 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 passenger, CHEC 9 sits in the same design class as the other passengers listed in the Similar Vessels section of the vessel page, or in the full passenger directory at /vessel-type/passenger.
