+

KIAN has not broadcast an AIS position for 903 days. The most recent broadcast placed it in the Mediterranean Sea, on 17 May 2024, 16:21 UTC. It was sailing from IZMIR to TUZLA. 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 KIAN?

+

KIAN broadcasts MMSI 677040600 and is registered as IMO 8358283, with call sign 5IM506 . 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 KIAN?

How often is KIAN'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 KIAN?
