could be the reason why the BEAR is so far south

Algoma Bear
Re: Algoma Bear
Per VesselFinder, it looks like they stopped briefly in Papeete, Tahiti. Probably for bunkers and/or supplies.
Re: Algoma Bear
Update: Just found a site that has a position listed as four hours old. North of Bora Bora, still showing an April 6th ETA at Panama:https://directory.shipfix.com/ship/algo ... MO-9619309
Re: Algoma Bear
Yes, you need to upgrade to a satellite based AIS subscription to track vessels across the ocean. Shore based systems systems miss a lot. Although various shore based systems (other than Marine Traffic) did pick up the Algoma Bear in February as it went past the Philippines. Left the Batangas Anchorage on February 24, showing an ETA to Panama of April 6th. That ETA has likely changed in the past 27 or so days since they transmitted it.Guest wrote: ↑March 21, 2024, 7:49 am Am I missing something here?

Re: Algoma Bear
Yet the AIS for the Algoma Bear has not pinged since back in December of 2023 and a search shows it never left Taiching. Am I missing something here? I understand its a big ocean but I've been regularly searching for it and it has never shown up anywhere for me at least.
