APA — Military Ops · IMO 9526409

APA has not broadcast an AIS position for 36 days. The most recent broadcast placed it in the South Atlantic Ocean, on 2 Oct 2026, 13:13 UTC. It was sailing from RIO DE JANEIRO to NITEROI. Vessels stop appearing on terrestrial AIS when they move beyond receiver range, so a gap does not necessarily mean the vessel is inactive.

APA broadcasts MMSI 710494000 and is registered as IMO 9526409, with call sign PWAP. 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.

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

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.

APA is classed by LLOYD'S SHIPPING REGISTER, the classification society responsible for inspecting the vessel against safety, structural and operational rules. As a military ops, APA sits in the same design class as the other military opss listed in the Similar Vessels section of the vessel page, or in the full military ops directory at /vessel-type/military-special. APA has a gross tonnage of 2,530 GT.
