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, 20:54 UTC | Draught change Reported draught went from 13.9 m to 13.2 m while in port at Haifa. Voydar infers the ship probably discharged cargo. Method seadar.behaviour.draught_change v1 | Medium (65%) |
| Sep 23, 2026, 16:51 UTC | Two positions This MMSI was reported in two places 153 km apart at the same time: two transmitters may share the number, or the positions were disturbed. Method seadar.behaviour.mmsi_conflict v1 | Medium (70%) |
