KN FOREST — Cargo · IMO 9558268

KN FOREST has not broadcast an AIS position for 3 days. The most recent broadcast placed it in the South Atlantic Ocean, on 4 Nov 2026, 12:05 UTC. It was sailing from GERALDTON to PORT ELIZABETH. Vessels stop appearing on terrestrial AIS when they move beyond receiver range, so a gap does not necessarily mean the vessel is inactive.

KN FOREST broadcasts MMSI 566977000 and is registered as IMO 9558268, with call sign 9V7681. 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.

KN FOREST is classified as a cargo vessel registered under the SG 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 SG flag list at /flag/sg.
