Error: Sioux Arrow
There are two port tenders named Sioux Arrow both located in Anacortes, WA USA. The MMSI for one is 366973370 and the other is 366973730. It looks like a simple number transpositioning at the very end- 730 / 370. So 37 has become 73 or vice versa.

Dear Jackie,
Thank you for contacting MarineTraffic Support.
My name is Christina, Customer Support Representative, and I would be more than happy to look into this feedback from you.
From what I gather, there appears to be a duplicated record of Chief Arrow, under two different MMSIs, of which only 338010000 appears as active.
Kindly be informed that MMSI:366973730, is a different entity that is under the name SIOUX ARROW.
However, in regards to vessel records pertaining to Chief Arrow, please note that as soon as the new owner updates the transponder and starts transmitting the new data a new record of Chief Arrow will be created. It is common for multiple vessels to share a name and since their MMSI numbers are unique, this does not cause an issue.
Kindly be informed that the 'old' Chief Arrow record will remain in the database as it happens with scrapped or decommissioned vessels. Since no transmissions from the old MMSI will take place, the record will not have any new data.
I hope the above information helps clarify things.
We remain at your disposal for anything else.Best Regards,
Christina

The Arrow Company runs port tenders in Puget Sound harbors. Sioux Arrow and Chief Arrow are both port tenders currently in Anacortes. It seems unlikely the same company would name two active vessels the same and have them in the same port, with one active and one not reported for years - unless one is no longer active and has been replaced. Thank you for your assistance.
