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 Eisvogel

Icebreaker Eisvogel (English: Kingfisher) is an icebreaker employed by the Port of Vienna, Austria. Eisvogel clears ice in all three of Vienna's harbors. She is employed when the ice becomes a few centimetres in thickness. In 1985 she cleared ice that was 60 centimetres (24 in) thick. In ice-free months the vessel is employed for official tours. The German Navy built a 560-ton icebreaker, also named Eisvogel, which was sold off and is operated as a tugboat out of the port of Trieste.
