SOUTH PASSAGE — Sailing Vessel · IMO 8610930

SOUTH PASSAGE has not broadcast an AIS position for 48 days. The most recent broadcast placed it in the Coral Sea, on 22 Sep 2026, 15:20 UTC. It was sailing from MANLY HARBOUR to SYDNEY. Vessels stop appearing on terrestrial AIS when they move beyond receiver range, so a gap does not necessarily mean the vessel is inactive.

SOUTH PASSAGE broadcasts MMSI 503318000 and is registered as IMO 8610930. 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.

SOUTH PASSAGE is classified as a sailing vessel vessel registered under the AU flag. The vessel-type classification is derived from the AIS Type field broadcast by the ship's transponder; full sailing vessel fleet at /vessel-type/yacht and full AU flag list at /flag/au.

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 sailing vessel, SOUTH PASSAGE sits in the same design class as the other sailing vessels listed in the Similar Vessels section of the vessel page, or in the full sailing vessel directory at /vessel-type/yacht.
