Question 1

Where is SHUPAVU right now?

Accepted Answer

SHUPAVU has not broadcast an AIS position for 3 days. The most recent broadcast placed it in the Indian Ocean, on 5 Aug 2026, 18:58 UTC. It was sailing from MOMBASA to MOMBASA. 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 SHUPAVU?

Accepted Answer

SHUPAVU broadcasts MMSI 634145000 and is registered as IMO 9133135, with call sign 5ZNO. 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.

SHUPAVU is classified as a military ops vessel registered under the KE flag. The vessel-type classification is derived from the AIS Type field broadcast by the ship's transponder; full military ops fleet at /vessel-type/military-special and full KE flag list at /flag/ke.
