This position is 26 hours old.
We have not received an AIS report from Carnival Encounter since then, so the position below is the last one we could confirm and not where she is now. Gaps like this are normal at sea: AIS relies on shore stations and satellites, and coverage drops on open ocean and in remote regions such as Alaska and the far north.
Carnival Encounter's last known position was 283nm north-west of Port Moselle.
