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, 03:50 UTC | Draught change Reported draught went from 9.5 m to 6.7 m while in port at Husnes. Voydar infers the ship probably discharged cargo. Method seadar.behaviour.draught_change v1 | High (75%) |
