Question 1

Where is DRIFTWOOD right now?

Accepted Answer

DRIFTWOOD has not broadcast an AIS position for 7 days. The most recent broadcast placed it in the Gulf of Mexico, on 1 Sep 2026, 14:45 UTC. It was sailing from FORT LAUDERDALE to PORT EVERGLADES. 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 DRIFTWOOD?

Accepted Answer

DRIFTWOOD broadcasts MMSI 538071218 and is registered as IMO 1012842, with call sign V7LA6. 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 DRIFTWOOD?

Accepted Answer

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

Question 5

How often is DRIFTWOOD'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.
