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.

WhenWhat we observedConfidence
Sep 30, 2026, 03:09 UTC
Draught change

Reported draught went from 13.8 m to 13.1 m while in port at Sines. Voydar infers the ship probably discharged cargo.
