Frequently Asked Questions

Where is SUN right now?

+

SUN has not broadcast an AIS position for 75 days. The most recent broadcast placed it in the Persian Gulf, on 24 Aug 2026, 08:57 UTC. It was sailing from UMM QASR ANCH to KHOR FAKKAN. 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 SUN?

+

SUN broadcasts MMSI 668116207 and is registered as IMO 9131101, with call sign S9UJ101. 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.

What type of ship is SUN?

+

SUN is classified as a tanker vessel registered under the ST 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 ST flag list at /flag/st.

How often is SUN's position updated?

+

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.

What class is SUN?

+

SUN is classed by GERMANISCHER LLOYD, the classification society responsible for inspecting the vessel against safety, structural and operational rules. As a tanker, SUN sits in the same design class as the other tankers listed in the Similar Vessels section of the vessel page, or in the full tanker directory at /vessel-type/tanker.
