AURORA PETROL — Tanker · IMO 9178018

AURORA PETROL has not broadcast an AIS position for 3 days. The most recent broadcast placed it in the Indian Ocean, on 3 Nov 2026, 08:25 UTC. It was sailing from LAMONGAN to LAMONGAN. Vessels stop appearing on terrestrial AIS when they move beyond receiver range, so a gap does not necessarily mean the vessel is inactive.

AURORA PETROL broadcasts MMSI 525201572 and is registered as IMO 9178018, with call sign YDEC2. 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.

AURORA PETROL is classified as a tanker vessel registered under the ID flag. The vessel-type classification is derived from the AIS Type field broadcast by the ship's transponder; full tanker fleet at /vessel-type/tanker and full ID flag list at /flag/id.

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 tanker, AURORA PETROL sits in the same design class as the other tankers listed in the Similar Vessels section of the vessel page, or in the full tanker directory at /vessel-type/tanker.
