One IMO number is meant to be one ship. Late on 3 Oct, IMO 9291250 was two. At 11:32 PM EDT the tanker STILGAR was off Tangier, her AIS set for Port Said. Seven seconds earlier, a transponder in the Taiwan Strait sent the same IMO.

That one called itself CORTEX. It's her old name, and the one the UK, Canada, Australia and New Zealand list her under. It sent her exact size, 250 by 44 m, on a Cameroon number. We heard it for 46 minutes. Then nothing. hullcipher.com/vessel/9291250

VesselFinder files the IMO under STILGAR, with CORTEX as a former name, and shows no ship in the Taiwan Strait. Hers is the second IMO on our lists sent from two places at once since 2 Oct. Does anyone know which ship has been on 613471902?

Thanks for linking the two. The Cameroon number that sent her IMO from the Taiwan Strait hasn't come back. We last heard it at 12:19 AM EDT on 4 Oct. Also sent you a DM, no rush.
