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.

About Nissos Samos

Nissos Samos (Νήσος Σάμος , Nísos Sámos ) is a ferry operated by the Greek company Hellenic Seaways. Built in 1988 at the IHI shipyard in Kure for the Japanese company Shin Nihonkai Ferry, it originally operated between the islands of Honshu and Hokkaido under the name New Akashia (ニューあかしあ, Nyū Akashia ) . Sold in 2004 to the Greek company Endeavor Lines, it was initially renamed Ionian Glory and then finally Ionian Queen, sailing on routes between Greece and Italy until 2012, when its owner went bankrupt. Laid up for approximately three years in Patras, it was eventually bought by the Hellenic Seaways company, which renamed it Nissos Samos. It currently sails in the Aegean Sea and serves the North Aegean.
