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.

Predicted arrival

Voydar estimates arrival at Hamburg around Oct 8, 2026, 00:19 UTC, most likely between Oct 3, 2026, 03:34 UTC and Oct 19, 2026, 10:41 UTC. Based on 77 past transits between DEHHV and Hamburg seen in our port calls. The crew-reported ETA is Jul 21, 2027, 20:00 UTC.
