Her best, by register

Two measurements, kept apart.

Window best: none
Archive best: 06:16 · Archive timing, 2021 to 2026
Best race score, window: none
Best race score, archive: none

The window receiver times a gate to about a second; the national archive carries one fix a minute, interpolated to about two. Her two bests are two different measurements and are never ranked against each other.

Records held

Observed extremes

How fast she’s gone.

Observed top speed: 19.1 kn · 9 Mar 2024 · off Charleston, SC · national archive 2021-25

From our own position archives, with reasonableness checks: a plausible top speed over a corroborated window, a direct leg between two named places. A bound carries no second fix to confirm it and is labelled as one.

Identity history

Names and numbers.

Current name: VISION OF THE SEAS
Former names: none on file
MMSIs on file: 311321000
Hull keyed by: IMO 9116876

A ship keeps her IMO number for life and changes her name and MMSI when she is sold or reflagged, so one hull holds every identity she has carried.

What the window has seen

Last observed.

First seen: 21 January 2024
Last seen: 12 April 2026
Passages observed: 46 (23 in, 23 out)
Port calls: Used to be seen here about 10 times a year · not seen here since Apr 2026
Typical port stay: 10 hours (median)
Latest direction: Inbound

Last observed: Apr 12, 2026 · 4:27 pm · heading out to sea (12 April 2026, 16:27). A last observed passage is where she was seen, not where she is.

Our estimate, not a schedule: Around late October — based on how often we've seen her, timing uncertain after the 2026 gap · low confidence, a rough guess.
