HD CONTENDER — Dive Vessel · IMO 9122796

HD CONTENDER has not broadcast an AIS position for 4 days. The most recent broadcast placed it, on 2 Nov 2026, 10:01 UTC. It was sailing from LAGOS to MALABO. Vessels stop appearing on terrestrial AIS when they move beyond receiver range, so a gap does not necessarily mean the vessel is inactive.

HD CONTENDER broadcasts MMSI 657939000 and is registered as IMO 9122796. 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.

HD CONTENDER is classified as a dive vessel vessel registered under the NG flag. The vessel-type classification is derived from the AIS Type field broadcast by the ship's transponder; full dive vessel fleet at /vessel-type/military-special and full NG flag list at /flag/ng.

AIS transponders broadcast position every 2 seconds when underway at high speed and up to every 3 minutes at anchor. The position you see refreshes whenever the ship is in range of a coastal AIS receiver or a satellite pass — typically seconds in coastal waters and minutes offshore.

As a dive vessel, HD CONTENDER sits in the same design class as the other dive vessels listed in the Similar Vessels section of the vessel page, or in the full dive vessel directory at /vessel-type/military-special.
