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 27, 2026, 08:07 UTC | Alongside another ship Stayed within 49 m of HORTEN at low speed for 2 h 10 min, 140 km from the nearest port and outside known anchorages. A candidate ship-to-ship transfer; many such meetings are routine and licensed. HORTEN →Method seadar.behaviour.sts_candidate 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.
