Port calls

Two kinds of evidence, kept apart: calls Voydar detected from the ship's AIS positions, and arrivals and departures published by port authorities and customs records.

Detected from AIS AIS-detected

Port	Arrived	Departed	Time in port
Botlek NLBOT	Oct 3, 2026, 23:23 UTC	Oct 5, 2026, 13:03 UTC	37 h 40 min
Renfrew GBREN	Sep 28, 2026, 00:40 UTC	Sep 29, 2026, 11:41 UTC	35 h 1 min

Detected by Voydar when the ship's AIS positions stayed slow inside a harbour area. Calls shorter than 30 minutes are not shown. Depends on AIS reception; detection started on June 8, 2026.

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 5, 2026, 11:44 UTC	Draught change Reported draught went from 5.4 m to 7 m while in port at Botlek. Voydar infers the ship probably loaded cargo. Method seadar.behaviour.draught_change v1	Medium (65%)
Sep 29, 2026, 07:34 UTC	Draught change Reported draught went from 6.7 m to 5.4 m while in port at Renfrew. Voydar infers the ship probably discharged cargo. Method seadar.behaviour.draught_change v1	Medium (65%)
