BRUCE KAY broadcasts MMSI 710012150 and is registered as IMO 9680176, with call sign PPXW. 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.

BRUCE KAY is classified as a cargo vessel registered under the BR flag. The vessel-type classification is derived from the AIS Type field broadcast by the ship's transponder; full cargo fleet at /vessel-type/cargo and full BR flag list at /flag/br.
