Cuba DispatchBackground
Grace is a container ship identified by IMO number 9234422. A Latin American port-state-control registry recorded that name and number in June 2026. The same record lists a 2001 build, gross tonnage of 2,936 and the Comoros flag. A local report describes the same vessel as 100.8 metres long overall.
Grace's IMO number 9234422 distinguishes it from unrelated ships that share the name. Vessel registrations can change, so the June 2026 flag entry records a dated snapshot. The ship's recorded type, dimensions, build year and gross tonnage provide its durable particulars as a container vessel in commercial cargo service.
