MSC VANCOUVER has not broadcast an AIS position for 10 days. The most recent broadcast placed it in the Indian Ocean, on 27 Oct 2026, 15:32 UTC. It was sailing from ONNE to PORT ELIZABETH ANCH. Vessels stop appearing on terrestrial AIS when they move beyond receiver range, so a gap does not necessarily mean the vessel is inactive.

MSC VANCOUVER broadcasts MMSI 636020499 and is registered as IMO 9285691, with call sign D5VS7. 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 VANCOUVER 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.
