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.
Detected from AIS AIS-detected
| Port | Arrived | Departed | Time in port |
|---|---|---|---|
| Montreal-Est CAMRE | Oct 1, 2026, 06:47 UTC | Oct 2, 2026, 03:23 UTC | 20 h 36 min |
| Montreal CAMTR | Oct 1, 2026, 05:13 UTC | Oct 1, 2026, 06:45 UTC | 1 h 32 min |

| Clarkson CACSN | Sep 27, 2026, 01:05 UTC | Sep 29, 2026, 22:17 UTC | 2 d 21 h |
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 |
|---|---|---|
| Oct 2, 2026, 02:12 UTC | Draught change Reported draught went from 6.7 m to 6 m while in port at Montreal-Est. Voydar infers the ship probably discharged cargo. Method seadar.behaviour.draught_change v1 | Medium (65%) |
| Sep 29, 2026, 19:50 UTC | Draught change Reported draught went from 6 m to 6.7 m while in port at Clarkson. Voydar infers the ship probably loaded cargo. Method seadar.behaviour.draught_change v1 | Medium (65%) |
