RED ALERT! THE MISTRAL VLADIVOSTOK IS NOW UNDER RUSSIAN PAVILLION!
The MMSI number of the Mistral Vladivostok just changed from 227022600 (France) to 273549920 (Russie). The boat seems to be already officially Russian by now. MMSIs are regulated and managed internationally by the International Telecommunications Union in Geneva, Switzerland, just as radio call signs are regulated. The MMSI format and use is documented in Article 19 of the ITU Radio Regulations and ITU-R Recommendation M.585-6, available from the ITU.
We use this link to track the movements of the boat and as you can see, the French MMSI does not exist anymore, it has been transferred to a Russian MMSI.
In France, the procedure to get a MMSI is quite straight and you have to have all documents in order to get it.
The last signal received under the French MMSI was 2014-11-13 08:24, since that, it is not updated. The russian MMSI is updated regularly.
It looks like the French government lied so much that they did transfer the ownership of the boat as scheduled without a ceremony.
Or is it another mistake, a HUGE one?
