BESTAF 1 — Cargo · IMO 9382011

BESTAF 1 has not broadcast an AIS position for 84 days. The most recent broadcast placed it, on 14 Aug 2026, 02:41 UTC. It was sailing from ONNE to LAGOS. Vessels stop appearing on terrestrial AIS when they move beyond receiver range, so a gap does not necessarily mean the vessel is inactive.

BESTAF 1 broadcasts MMSI 657278400 and is registered as IMO 9382011, with call sign 5N2196. 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.

BESTAF 1 is classified as a cargo vessel registered under the NG 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 NG flag list at /flag/ng.
