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.

WhenWhat we observedConfidence
Oct 1, 2026, 00:36 UTC
Draught change

Reported draught went from 11.1 m to 11.8 m while in port at Port Melbourne. Voydar infers the ship probably loaded cargo.
