Question 1

Where is AST RISING right now?

Accepted Answer

AST RISING has not broadcast an AIS position for 9 days. The most recent broadcast placed it in the Bay of Bengal, on 30 Aug 2026, 15:51 UTC. It was sailing from CHENNAI to DUQM. Vessels stop appearing on terrestrial AIS when they move beyond receiver range, so a gap does not necessarily mean the vessel is inactive.

Question 2

What are the identifiers for AST RISING?

Accepted Answer

AST RISING broadcasts MMSI 538010968 and is registered as IMO 9437828, with call sign V7A6382. 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.

Question 3

What type of ship is AST RISING?

Accepted Answer

AST RISING is classified as a cargo vessel registered under the MH flag. The vessel-type classification is derived from the AIS Type field broadcast by the ship's transponder; full cargo fleet at /vessel-type/cargo and full MH flag list at /flag/mh.

Question 5

How often is AST RISING's position updated?

Accepted Answer

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.
