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.

| Port | Arrived | Departed | Time in port |
|---|---|---|---|
| Lillo BELIL | Sep 26, 2026, 19:48 UTC | Sep 28, 2026, 04:38 UTC | 32 h 49 min |

Detected by Voydar when the ship's AIS positions stayed slow inside a harbour area. Calls shorter than 30 minutes are not shown. Depends on AIS reception; detection started on June 8, 2026.
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 28, 2026, 02:46 UTC | Draught change Reported draught went from 5.4 m to 8 m while in port at Lillo. Voydar infers the ship probably loaded cargo. Method seadar.behaviour.draught_change v1 | High (75%) |
| Sep 26, 2026, 05:36 UTC | Draught change Reported draught went from 7.9 m to 5.4 m while in port at Botlek. Voydar infers the ship probably discharged cargo. Method seadar.behaviour.draught_change v1 | High (75%) |

About Bothnia
SS Bothnia was a British steam passenger ship that sailed on the trans-Atlantic route between Liverpool and New York City or Boston. The ship was built by J & G Thomson of Clydebank, and launched on 4 March 1874 for the British & North American Royal Mail Steam Packet Company, which became the Cunard Line in 1879. Constructed with an iron hull ship, and 4,535 gross register tons, and with a length of 422 feet. She was powered by a 600 hp 2-cylinder compound steam engine, barque-rigged on three masts, and had a top speed of 121⁄2 knots. She could carry up to 1,400 passengers, 300 in first class and 1,100 in 3rd class. Bothnia sailed on her maiden voyage from Liverpool to New York via Queenstown on 8 August 1874, and on 15 April 1885, made her first voyage from Liverpool to Boston. She was withdrawn from service in mid-1898 and then sold, and was scrapped in Marseille in 1899.
