Last known position of MSC Magnifica
MSC Magnifica (MSC Cruises) last reported its position 11 hours, 58 minutes ago: 41.0842° N, 2.9207° E, about 70 km from Barcelona, heading for Civitavecchia (Rom). As of 31.10.2026 23:52 UTC.
No new report has come in since. AIS signals are received by shore stations, which only reach about 50 to 100 kilometres out to sea. On a crossing a ship therefore stays silent for days without anything being wrong. As soon as MSC Magnifica transmits within range again, the new position will be shown here.

Questions about the position of MSC Magnifica
How current is the position of MSC Magnifica? +
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 MSC Magnifica via its MMSI and IMO numbers and record the positions, which is also where the sailed route comes from. MMSI: 352594000. IMO: 9387085.
