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 2, 2026, 03:39 UTC	Draught change Reported draught went from 6.7 m to 6.2 m while in port at Tynemouth. Voydar infers the ship probably discharged cargo. Method seadar.behaviour.draught_change v1	Medium (65%)
Sep 30, 2026, 15:57 UTC	Draught change Reported draught went from 6.1 m to 6.8 m while in port at London Gateway Port. Voydar infers the ship probably loaded cargo. Method seadar.behaviour.draught_change v1	Medium (65%)
Sep 27, 2026, 04:54 UTC	Draught change Reported draught went from 6.9 m to 7.6 m while in port at Europoort. Voydar infers the ship probably loaded cargo. Method seadar.behaviour.draught_change v1	Medium (65%)
Sep 25, 2026, 00:46 UTC	Draught change Reported draught went from 7.5 m to 6.6 m while in port at London Gateway Port. Voydar infers the ship probably discharged cargo. Method seadar.behaviour.draught_change v1	Medium (65%)
