AFRAMAX RIO — Tanker · IMO 9273844

AFRAMAX RIO has not broadcast an AIS position for 18 days. The most recent broadcast placed it in the Black Sea, on 20 Sep 2026, 21:49 UTC. It was sailing from TUZLA to CONSTANTA. Vessels stop appearing on terrestrial AIS when they move beyond receiver range, so a gap does not necessarily mean the vessel is inactive.

AFRAMAX RIO broadcasts MMSI 636022972 and is registered as IMO 9273844, with call sign 5LLH6. 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.

AFRAMAX RIO is classified as a tanker vessel registered under the LR flag. The vessel-type classification is derived from the AIS Type field broadcast by the ship's transponder; full tanker fleet at /vessel-type/tanker and full LR flag list at /flag/lr.
