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 28, 2026, 22:06 UTC | Draught change Reported draught went from 4.3 m to 5.8 m after leaving Husoy - Karmoy. Voydar infers the ship probably loaded cargo. Method seadar.behaviour.draught_change v1 | Medium (55%) |
| Sep 28, 2026, 01:08 UTC | Draught change Reported draught went from 4.9 m to 4.3 m while in port at Husoy - Karmoy. Voydar infers the ship probably discharged cargo. Method seadar.behaviour.draught_change v1 | Medium (65%) |
