Timeline

Dated events for this ship from every source Voydar holds, newest first. Each line names its source; derived items say how they were derived.

Owner, operator and manager changes found by comparing yearly EU MRV reports are dated to the reporting year ("during 2025"), not to a day. Port calls here are the most recent only; the full lists are further down.

Former and other names

Names attested for this ship other than its current name.

A sanctions list's date is the earliest date the list shows the name, not when the ship took it. A name on a list is shown as a former name only where AIS shows the ship using another name after that date; otherwise it is listed as a name the list uses. AIS name changes are dated when Voydar saw them.

About SS Ayrfield

The SS Ayrfield was a steel-hulled cargo ship that was built in Scotland, United Kingdom and was registered in Sydney, Australia in 1912. It was in service for 60 years before becoming a mangrove as it remained aground on Homebush Bay in Western Sydney. Known as a "floating forest", the ship has been reclaimed by dense stands of trees whose branches cascade over its sides, and gradually break down the hull. It is the most popular of the abandoned freighters found in the Parramatta River, with the other lesser known ones being the SS Heroic, HMAS Karangi, and SS Mortlake Bank.
