MISS BETTYE

US · tug · 21 m · Colonial Towing inc

A 21 m tug, seen on 135 days between September 2021 and July 2025; not seen since.

How often we see her

Last seen Jul 11, 2025. She hasn't been back in a long while, so we're no longer expecting her.

Where she's been

  • Cape Canaveral, FL · in port Oct 8 to Oct 16 · 60 samples

From shore receivers' AIS samples: volunteer networks, our own antenna and NOAA's archive. A port call means she was heard stopped there; ocean passages are not heard, and the times are bounds, not events.
