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 22, 2026, 20:22 UTC | AIS gap No AIS position received for 11 h 56 min while our receivers kept hearing other ships there (11 of 11 hours in coverage). Heard again 11 km away. Method seadar.behaviour.ais_gap v1 | High (90%) |

Derived from AIS positions of feeds whose terms allow display on Voydar. Coverage is terrestrial: gaps are reported only where our receivers kept hearing other ships. Detections below medium confidence are not shown.
About Maria Dolores
MV or HSC Maria Dolores is a high-speed catamaran ferry owned by Virtu Ferries. It was built by Austal in 2005–06, entering service as a ferry between Malta and Sicily in March 2006. The vessel soon became too small to allow for the increasing passenger and cargo traffic on this route, and in October 2010 it was replaced by the larger catamaran MV Jean de La Valette. In 2011, the vessel took part in evacuating people from Tripoli during the Libyan Civil War. Between 2012 and 2020, it was leased to Inter Shipping SRA as a ferry between Tarifa and Tangier.
