Where is Nippon Maru right now?
No AIS report at the moment
Position of Nippon Maru
We currently have no AIS position for Nippon Maru (Mitsui O.S.K. Passenger Line). The ship transmits under MMSI 431302000 (IMO 8817631). As soon as a receiving station picks it up again, the position will appear here automatically.
The usual reasons for a gap: the ship is on the open sea out of range, in dry dock, or simply not transmitting right now.

Questions about the position of Nippon Maru
How current is the position of Nippon Maru? +
AIS reports reach us around the clock; a fresh position is usually only a few minutes old. If it says “6 hours ago” above, the ship has not reached a receiving station since. The page always shows the most recent report we have and tells you how old it is.
Why is the position sometimes missing? +
AIS is line-of-sight radio. The stations stand on the coast and hear about 50 to 100 kilometres out. A ship in the middle of the Atlantic or the Pacific is invisible to them and only reappears as it approaches the next coast. Then there are yard periods when the transmitter is switched off. Neither is a cause for concern.
Where does the data come from? +
From AIS, the Automatic Identification System. Ships of this size must carry it. It transmits position, course, speed and destination by radio; receiving stations ashore pass the reports on. We match them to Nippon Maru via its MMSI and IMO numbers and record the positions, which is also where the sailed route comes from. MMSI: 431302000. IMO: 8817631.
