Owner, operator and manager changes found by comparing yearly EU MRV reports are dated to the reporting year ("during 2025"), not to a day. Port calls here are the most recent only; the full lists are further down.

Former and other names

Names attested for this ship other than its current name.

Name	Evidence	Date	Source
Mette Mols	Former name	Jan 1, 1996	Wikidata

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.

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.

Predicted arrival

Voydar estimates arrival at Algeciras around Oct 3, 2026, 09:16 UTC, most likely between Oct 3, 2026, 05:28 UTC and Oct 3, 2026, 15:16 UTC. Based on 52 past transits between MAPTM and Algeciras seen in our port calls. The crew-reported ETA is Oct 3, 2026, 00:15 UTC.
