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 1, 2026, 23:17 UTC | Draught change Reported draught went from 4.7 m to 4.1 m while in port at Fecamp. Voydar infers the ship probably discharged cargo. Method seadar.behaviour.draught_change v1 | Medium (65%) |
| Sep 28, 2026, 14:47 UTC | Draught change Reported draught went from 5.6 m to 4.7 m while in port at Bremerhaven. Voydar infers the ship probably discharged cargo. Method seadar.behaviour.draught_change v1 | Medium (65%) |
| Sep 23, 2026, 10:41 UTC | Draught change Reported draught went from 5.2 m to 5.7 m while in port at Rauma (Raumo). Voydar infers the ship probably loaded cargo. Method seadar.behaviour.draught_change v1 | Medium (65%) |
