Frequently Asked Questions

Where is SC 53 right now?+
SC 53 has not broadcast an AIS position for 34 days. The most recent broadcast placed it in the South Atlantic Ocean, on 5 Jul 2026, 21:40 UTC. It was sailing from SANTOS to SUAPE. 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 SC 53?+
SC 53 broadcasts MMSI 745086129. 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 SC 53?+
SC 53 is classified as a tanker vessel registered under the GF 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 GF flag list at /flag/gf.

How often is SC 53'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.
