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.
| When | What we observed | Confidence |
|---|---|---|
| Sep 27, 2026, 20:57 UTC | Alongside another ship Stayed within 206 m of RIX PARTNER at low speed for 8 h 40 min, 17 km from the nearest port and outside known anchorages. A candidate ship-to-ship transfer; many such meetings are routine and licensed. Still alongside at the last update. RIX PARTNER →Method seadar.behaviour.sts_candidate v1 | Medium (60%) |
