ZAINAB — Tanker · IMO 9489089

ZAINAB has not broadcast an AIS position for 46 days. The most recent broadcast placed it in the South China Sea, on 24 Sep 2026, 16:15 UTC. It was sailing from HUANGHUA to SINGAPORE ANCH. Vessels stop appearing on terrestrial AIS when they move beyond receiver range, so a gap does not necessarily mean the vessel is inactive.

ZAINAB broadcasts MMSI 538003850 and is registered as IMO 9489089, with call sign V7TP2. 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.

ZAINAB is classified as a tanker vessel registered under the MH 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 MH flag list at /flag/mh.

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.

ZAINAB is classed by DET NORSKE VERITAS, the classification society responsible for inspecting the vessel against safety, structural and operational rules. As a tanker, ZAINAB 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. ZAINAB has a gross tonnage of 29,279 GT.
