Question 1

Where is LH 17 right now?

Accepted Answer

LH 17 has not broadcast an AIS position for 18 days. The most recent broadcast placed it in the South China Sea, on 21 Aug 2026, 08:58 UTC. It was sailing from MELAKA to CLASS B. Vessels stop appearing on terrestrial AIS when they move beyond receiver range, so a gap does not necessarily mean the vessel is inactive.

Question 2

What are the identifiers for LH 17?

Accepted Answer

LH 17 broadcasts MMSI 667002318. 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.

Question 3

What type of ship is LH 17?

Accepted Answer

LH 17 is classified as a dredger vessel registered under the SL flag. The vessel-type classification is derived from the AIS Type field broadcast by the ship's transponder; full dredger fleet at /vessel-type/military-special and full SL flag list at /flag/sl.

Question 4

How can I see the live position of LH 17?

Accepted Answer

Question 5

How often is LH 17's position updated?

Accepted Answer

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.

Question 6

What class is LH 17?

Accepted Answer

As a dredger, LH 17 sits in the same design class as the other dredgers listed in the Similar Vessels section of the vessel page, or in the full dredger directory at /vessel-type/military-special.
