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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Zandvliet BEZVT | Oct 3, 2026, 12:29 UTC | Oct 4, 2026, 08:32 UTC | 20 h 3 min |
| Southampton GBSOU | Oct 1, 2026, 12:39 UTC | Oct 2, 2026, 11:00 UTC | 22 h 21 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 |
|---|---|---|
| Oct 3, 2026, 23:44 UTC | Draught change Reported draught went from 9.9 m to 8 m while in port at Zandvliet. Voydar infers the ship probably discharged cargo. Method seadar.behaviour.draught_change v1 | Medium (65%) |
| Oct 1, 2026, 20:26 UTC | Draught change Reported draught went from 9.9 m to 9.4 m while in port at Southampton. Voydar infers the ship probably discharged cargo. Method seadar.behaviour.draught_change v1 | Medium (65%) |
