BHAGWAN OCEAN — Tug · IMO 9641467

BHAGWAN OCEAN has not broadcast an AIS position for 65 days. The most recent broadcast placed it in the Coral Sea, on 3 Sep 2026, 00:17 UTC. It was sailing from MILNER BAY to BRISBANE. Vessels stop appearing on terrestrial AIS when they move beyond receiver range, so a gap does not necessarily mean the vessel is inactive.

BHAGWAN OCEAN broadcasts MMSI 503699100 and is registered as IMO 9641467, with call sign VHLF. 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.

BHAGWAN OCEAN is classified as a tug vessel registered under the AU flag. The vessel-type classification is derived from the AIS Type field broadcast by the ship's transponder; full tug fleet at /vessel-type/tug-pilot-vessel 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 tug, BHAGWAN OCEAN sits in the same design class as the other tugs listed in the Similar Vessels section of the vessel page, or in the full tug directory at /vessel-type/tug-pilot-vessel. BHAGWAN OCEAN has a gross tonnage of 255 GT.
