About the data

  • IMO number. Seven digits, assigned once for the life of the hull and kept through renaming, reflagging and sale; the last digit is a check digit (IMO Ship Identification Number Scheme). Only numbers that pass the check are listed.
  • MMSI, call sign, ship type, draught and destination are what the ship's own AIS transponder broadcasts (ITU-R M.1371). The crew types the destination and draught by hand, so they can be out of date or written in free form.
  • Operators come from the carriers' published sailing schedules, read by Navo. TEU, flag, year built and length are shown only where that data has them.
  • Positions are the last fix in the Navo AIS registry on the date shown, not live. For the live position open the ship in Navo vessel tracking.
  • Photos are from the Navo vessel photo library or from Wikimedia Commons and Flickr under the licence named under each photo.
  • Data as of 13 Nov 2026.
