RAS — Dredger · IMO 9040663

RAS has not broadcast an AIS position for 58 days. The most recent broadcast placed it in the North Atlantic Ocean, on 9 Sep 2026, 10:14 UTC. It was sailing from ALEXANDRIA to ALEXANDRIA. Vessels stop appearing on terrestrial AIS when they move beyond receiver range, so a gap does not necessarily mean the vessel is inactive.

RAS broadcasts MMSI 677020800 and is registered as IMO 9040663, with call sign 5IM308 . 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.

RAS is classified as a dredger vessel registered under the TZ 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 TZ flag list at /flag/tz.

MarineRadar shows the latest AIS broadcast from RAS above, with current position, course, speed, and navigation status. Tap "View on map" to centre the live tracker on the vessel and watch its movement update in real time. The same data is available offline-friendly in the iOS and Android apps.

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.

RAS is classed by TURKISH LLOYD, the classification society responsible for inspecting the vessel against safety, structural and operational rules. As a dredger, RAS 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. RAS has a gross tonnage of 1,511 GT.
