A ship is indentified by the IMO number from lunch to scrap. The same
ship could have different MMSI numbers during lifetime. That is the
reason why using MMSI as an identification number for the ship will
cause to difficulties.
Try this example:

IMO : 9242297

MMSI: 249820000

MMSI: 271000677

Cheers

Well spoken. Anyone wishing to get more information on any particular ship/vessel should go to the following websites:

http://www.equasis.org/EquasisWeb/public/HomePage joint UK/French Government website) (need an account to access, but it is free and easily attainable).

http://www.e-ships.net/ (need an account to access the vessel search).
