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, 21:57 UTC	Draught change Reported draught went from 10.1 m to 8.2 m while in port at Keppel. Voydar infers the ship probably discharged cargo. Method seadar.behaviour.draught_change v1	Medium (65%)
Sep 22, 2026, 22:05 UTC	AIS gap No AIS position received for 10 h 50 min while our receivers kept hearing other ships there (9 of 9 hours in coverage). Heard again 24 km away. Method seadar.behaviour.ais_gap v1	High (90%)
