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.

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 Kiel around Oct 4, 2026, 12:43 UTC, most likely between Sep 25, 2026, 10:59 UTC and Oct 10, 2026, 01:47 UTC. Based on 42 past transits between DEELB and Kiel seen in our port calls. The crew-reported ETA is Sep 30, 2026, 20:00 UTC.
