Former and other names
Names attested for this ship other than its current name.
| Name | Evidence | Date | Source |
|---|---|---|---|
| CAPE VICTORY | Former name, change seen on AIS | Sep 25, 2026 | AIS (vessel's own broadcast) |
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.
Port calls
Two kinds of evidence, kept apart: calls Voydar detected from the ship's AIS positions, and arrivals and departures published by port authorities and customs records.
