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 23, 2026, 01:39 UTC | Draught change Reported draught went from 8 m to 6.2 m while in port at Sjursoja/Oslo. Voydar infers the ship probably discharged cargo. Method seadar.behaviour.draught_change v1 | Medium (65%) |
Source: BarentsWatch AIS API. Contains data under NLOD made available by BarentsWatch. Licence: NLOD 2.0 (probable).
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.
