Where is Azalea Galaxy?
« on: August 28, 2013, 01:15:22 AM »

At 8:18 pm EDT (28-August 00:18 UTC), vtslite.siistech.com showed Azalea Galaxy
moored in the Chelsea River at the head of Boston Harbor (Massachusetts).

At 8:27 pm (00:27 UTC), vtslite's icon for Azalea had disappeared.
A search for "Azalea Galaxy" returns "Selected ship/AtoN not found".

Fleetmon.com shows her moored in the Chelsea River, but says this position
is 12 hours old and that the ship is out of range.
  - IMO:  9343778     MMSI:  371823000

Shipspotting.com says Azalea Galaxy is moored in Boston.
  - MMSI:  371823000    IMO:  9343778

This is the Port History from shipspotting.com for Azalea Galaxy:
  2013 August 28th, 21:00:35 UTC   Newyork
  2013 August 28th, 08:00:28 UTC   Boston,usa

MarineTraffic.com shows her 77 nm east of Barrington, Nova Scotia,
with her destination as "BOSTON,USA".
  - IMO: 9343778,  MMSI: 371823000

I've included the IMO and MMSI numbers from the sites to show that
they are referencing the same vessel.

How can these AIS positions differ so markedly?

Where is Azalea, actually?

Any help would be appreciated!

At 03:30, it is making 13kts toward Boston and about 25 miles SE of Barrington, Nova Scotia (according to Marine Traffic).
It shows it has not been near Boston yet.

Used to be!
She didn't stay long but immediately set off for New Jersey, currently (18:27 GMT) to the east of Hyannis.
