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 Kronprins Frederik
MV Patra, formerly known as Kronprins Frederik, was a Danish-built passenger ferry constructed in 1941 at Helsingør Shipyard, Denmark. It primarily operated on North Sea routes under the ownership of Det Forenede Dampskibs-Selskab (DFDS). In March 1976, the ship was sold to the Arab Navigation Company of Suez and was renamed to Patra. On 24 December 1976, the ferry sank after catching fire while en route from Jeddah to Suez in the Red Sea.
