Question 1

Where is SL MUKALLA right now?

Accepted Answer

SL MUKALLA has not broadcast an AIS position for 138 days. The most recent broadcast placed it, on 23 Apr 2026, 14:38 UTC. It was sailing from KRIBI DEEPWATER PORT to ONNE. Vessels stop appearing on terrestrial AIS when they move beyond receiver range, so a gap does not necessarily mean the vessel is inactive.

What are the identifiers for SL MUKALLA?

Accepted Answer
