HOKUETSU USHAKA — Cargo · IMO 9355537

HOKUETSU USHAKA has not broadcast an AIS position for 207 days. The most recent broadcast placed it in the East China Sea, on 14 Apr 2026, 12:47 UTC. It was sailing from NIIGATA to SINGAPORE. Vessels stop appearing on terrestrial AIS when they move beyond receiver range, so a gap does not necessarily mean the vessel is inactive.

HOKUETSU USHAKA broadcasts MMSI 576327000 and is registered as IMO 9355537, with call sign YJVH3 . 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.

HOKUETSU USHAKA is classified as a cargo vessel registered under the VU 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 VU flag list at /flag/vu.
