Owner, operator and manager changes found by comparing yearly EU MRV reports are dated to the reporting year ("during 2025"), not to a day. Port calls here are the most recent only; the full lists are further down.
Former and other names
Names attested for this ship other than its current name.
| Name | Evidence | Date | Source |
|---|---|---|---|
| Elysee | Former name | Jan 1, 2009 | Wikidata |
A sanctions list's date is the earliest date the list shows the name, not when the ship took it. A name on a list is shown as a former name only where AIS shows the ship using another name after that date; otherwise it is listed as a name the list uses. AIS name changes are dated when Voydar saw them.

Port calls
Two kinds of evidence, kept apart: calls Voydar detected from the ship's AIS positions, and arrivals and departures published by port authorities and customs records.

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 24, 2026, 14:01 UTC | Draught change Reported draught went from 8.7 m to 7.9 m while in port at Bremerhaven. Voydar infers the ship probably discharged cargo. Method seadar.behaviour.draught_change v1 | Medium (65%) |

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.
