Live tracking and data notes

The live ship tracker on this page provides a map-based AIS view for MSC COLOMBO V through the configured external tracking provider. AIS information can be delayed, incomplete or temporarily unavailable because reception and provider coverage vary by area and vessel. The map is intended for general vessel discovery and position context and must not be used for navigation or safety-critical decisions.

Additional profile sections appear only when suitable source records are available, including ownership and management, engine or classification information, surveys, inspections, casualties, and sale or demolition events. Missing fields are not filled with invented values, so some modules may be absent when the underlying data snapshot does not contain sufficient evidence. The profile is compiled from controlled source records maintained for Ship-Tracker.org and may change as newer verified data becomes available.

MSC Sariska V was struck by two projectiles while departing Iraq’s Umm Qasr port. The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) has claimed responsibility for a cruise missile strike on the vessel, which they identified as "US-owned". The first projectile impacted the ship while a pilot was still onboard, followed shortly thereafter by a second strike on the crew accommodation area. Prior to the event, the 4,814 TEU vessel had been unloading cargo at Umm Qasr and was observed to be partially laden with empty containers. The UK Maritime Trade Operations (UKMTO) noted the incident occurred approximately 40 nautical miles southeast of the port, resulting in a large explosion on the vessel's starboard side. MSC Mediterranean Shipping Co. has confirmed that all crew members are safe and that the vessel and its cargo have been secured. Authorities are currently investigating the incident.
