MSC ALTAIR — Cargo · IMO 9465277

MSC ALTAIR has not broadcast an AIS position for 4 days. The most recent broadcast placed it in the Arabian Sea, on 3 Nov 2026, 19:36 UTC. It was sailing from VIZHINJAM to SINES. Vessels stop appearing on terrestrial AIS when they move beyond receiver range, so a gap does not necessarily mean the vessel is inactive.

MSC ALTAIR broadcasts MMSI 636015604 and is registered as IMO 9465277, with call sign A8YN2. 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.

MSC ALTAIR is classified as a cargo vessel registered under the LR 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 LR flag list at /flag/lr.
