LAI WAN — Cargo · IMO 9148879

LAI WAN has not broadcast an AIS position for 194 days. The most recent broadcast placed it in the South China Sea, on 26 Apr 2026, 21:13 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.

LAI WAN broadcasts MMSI 477997036 and is registered as IMO 9148879, with call sign VRS6321. 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.

LAI WAN 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.
