SPIRIT OF KOBE broadcasts MMSI 538012058 and is registered as IMO 9743227. 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.

SPIRIT OF KOBE is a maritime vessel registered under the MH flag. The vessel-type classification is derived from the AIS Type field broadcast by the ship's transponder 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.

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.
