Overview

About This Vessel

Anuanua Moana ("Rainbow of the Sea") is a research vessel registered in the Cook Islands. It is operated by Moana Minerals and used for conducting surveys for Deep sea mining. The ship was previously known as the VOS Satisfaction and previously operated as a subsea support vessel to support underwater diving- and ROV-operations as well as some salvage projects. In 2022 it was modified to provide space for scientists as well as lifting and sonar gear. The ship arrived in the Cook Islands in February 2023. It was named in March 2023 after a public competition. It began its first survey expedition in March 2023. Cook Islands Prime Minister Mark Brown accompanied the ship for the first stage of its voyage, mapping the seabed from Rarotonga to the Nga-Pu-Toru before docking in Aitutaki. In November 2023 it began an expedition to explore the seabed between Rarotonga and Aitutaki.

An older hull, stopped, whose last broadcast is itself no longer fresh: a cautious lay-up proxy.

Last broadcast

9 days ago

Hull age

19 yr

Read from the single most-recent AIS broadcast we hold for this hull. We keep no position history, so this is a point-in-time posture, not a dwell inference. “Likely laid up” is a cautious proxy (an old hull, stopped, with a non-fresh fix), not a confirmed lay-up. Derived in-house from our own AIS feed; weight it by the broadcast age above.

Port calls

4 recent · AIS-detected

Arrivals, time in port and the load/discharge inferred from the draught change, detected from AIS track history. An open call means the vessel is still in port (no departure observed yet).

Honolulu

Method: each call is a run of fixes inside a port’s geofence confirmed by a stop (or an AIS gap); load/discharge is the sign of the draught delta over the call. Indicative: arrivals before our AIS history began read from the first observation.

AIS-gap & behaviour50

Hull age56

Flag register100

A coverage-weighted blend of the 3 components we could read for this hull; the weights renormalise over only the components present, so a thin read is never inflated and a hull is never credited a “safe 0” for a signal it has no row for. Higher means riskier. Derived in-house from government-open port-State-control, flag, sanctions and our own vessel data; weight it by the coverage above.

Signals are a current-state view: a flag clears once the vessel stops tripping its detector. These are screening indicators, not a substitute for your own due diligence.
