TANGAROA — Other · IMO 9011571

TANGAROA has not broadcast an AIS position for 18 days. The most recent broadcast placed it in the Tasman Sea, on 19 Oct 2026, 18:45 UTC. It was sailing from WELLINGTON to LYTTELTON. Vessels stop appearing on terrestrial AIS when they move beyond receiver range, so a gap does not necessarily mean the vessel is inactive.

TANGAROA broadcasts MMSI 512000058 and is registered as IMO 9011571, with call sign ZMFR. 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.

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

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.

TANGAROA is classed by DET NORSKE VERITAS, the classification society responsible for inspecting the vessel against safety, structural and operational rules. The vessel's design class is inferred from its dimensions, gross tonnage and dead weight, all of which are listed in the Identity and Specifications panels on the vessel page. TANGAROA has a gross tonnage of 2,291 GT.
