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, 18:51 UTC | Draught change Reported draught went from 12.9 m to 8 m while in port at Ha Kwai Chung. Voydar infers the ship probably discharged cargo. Method seadar.behaviour.draught_change v1 | High (75%) |
| Sep 25, 2026, 09:57 UTC | Draught change Reported draught went from 8 m to 12.9 m while in port at Jurong. Voydar infers the ship probably loaded cargo. Method seadar.behaviour.draught_change v1 | High (75%) |
