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.
Predicted arrival
Voydar estimates arrival at Amsterdam around Oct 13, 2026, 14:21 UTC, most likely between Oct 6, 2026, 13:34 UTC and Oct 31, 2026, 05:02 UTC. Based on 82 past transits between NLIJM and Amsterdam seen in our port calls. The crew-reported ETA is Sep 28, 2026, 01:00 UTC.
