SATURNIA
The correct IMO number is 6617726 and the flag state should be Senegal and NOT Cabo Verde

IMO Number 6617726 on IMO GISIS, according to S & P IMO Number 6217726 does not exist and is not a valid IMO number, flag: Senegal on IMO GISIS and not Cabo Verde

Regarding the ship SATURNIA there is no information in Equasis and in GISIS the IMO number is slightly different, instead of 6217726 as you list it, I found it as 6617726. Upon querying with S&P they said the IMO 6217726 does not exist and is not a valid IMO number.
They also said the following:
“… after investigating this vessel, we have amended its ship status to ‘in service’ as we received confirmation from Senegal in 2021 that it was under their Flag. This should make it reappear in Equasis within the week.”
