Behaviour at sea Voydar-derived
Patterns Voydar derived from this ship's AIS broadcasts. They are inferences, not reports: each one shows how it was computed and how confident we are, and none of them says why a ship behaved this way.
| When | What we observed | Confidence |
|---|---|---|
| Sep 23, 2026, 03:48 UTC | Position jump Reported position moved 360 km in 3 min, faster than any ship can travel. The broadcast position was wrong for a time; GNSS interference, equipment faults and manipulation are all possible causes. Method seadar.behaviour.position_jump v1 | Medium (70%) |
| Sep 23, 2026, 02:40 UTC | Position jump Reported position moved 342 km in 4 min, faster than any ship can travel. The broadcast position was wrong for a time; GNSS interference, equipment faults and manipulation are all possible causes. Method seadar.behaviour.position_jump v1 | Medium (60%) |
