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 |
|---|---|---|
| Oct 3, 2026, 08:42 UTC | Draught change Reported draught went from 6.8 m to 5 m after leaving Terdonk. Voydar infers the ship probably discharged cargo. Method seadar.behaviour.draught_change v1 | Medium (55%) |
| Sep 23, 2026, 05:55 UTC | Position jump Reported position moved 30 km in 13 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%) |
| Sep 23, 2026, 04:02 UTC | Two positions This MMSI was reported in two places 0 km apart at the same time: two transmitters may share the number, or the positions were disturbed. Method seadar.behaviour.mmsi_conflict v1 | Medium (60%) |
| Sep 23, 2026, 03:53 UTC | Position jump Reported position moved 24 km in 1 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%) |
| Sep 23, 2026, 02:34 UTC | Position jump Reported position moved 379 km in 39 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 22, 2026, 23:39 UTC | Position jump Reported position moved 294 km in 126 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%) |
