VIVA — Tanker · IMO 9156539

VIVA has not broadcast an AIS position for 203 days. The most recent broadcast placed it in the Mediterranean Sea, on 17 Apr 2026, 21:02 UTC. It was sailing from DUNKIRK to YESILKOY ANCH. Vessels stop appearing on terrestrial AIS when they move beyond receiver range, so a gap does not necessarily mean the vessel is inactive.

VIVA broadcasts MMSI 572839220 and is registered as IMO 9156539, with call sign T2GS6. 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.

VIVA is classified as a tanker vessel registered under the TV 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 TV flag list at /flag/tv.

MarineRadar shows the latest AIS broadcast from VIVA above, with current position, course, speed, and navigation status. Tap "View on map" to centre the live tracker on the vessel and watch its movement update in real time. The same data is available offline-friendly in the iOS and Android apps.

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.

As a tanker, VIVA 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.
