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 30, 2026, 22:35 UTC | Draught change Reported draught went from 6.2 m to 7.3 m while in port at Nanticoke. Voydar infers the ship probably loaded cargo. Method seadar.behaviour.draught_change v1 | Medium (65%) |
| Sep 24, 2026, 23:26 UTC | Draught change Reported draught went from 5.5 m to 6.2 m while in port at Sarnia. Voydar infers the ship probably loaded cargo. Method seadar.behaviour.draught_change v1 | Medium (65%) |
| Sep 24, 2026, 05:55 UTC | Draught change Reported draught went from 7.3 m to 5.5 m while in port at Sarnia. Voydar infers the ship probably discharged cargo. Method seadar.behaviour.draught_change v1 | Medium (65%) |
