A sanctions list's date is the earliest date the list shows the name, not when the ship took it. A name on a list is shown as a former name only where AIS shows the ship using another name after that date; otherwise it is listed as a name the list uses. AIS name changes are dated when Voydar saw them.

About Greif
Greif is a brigantine, owned by the town Greifswald in Mecklenburg-Vorpommern. It was built in 1951 at Warnowwerft, Warnemünde/Rostock with a steel hull, launched May 26, 1951 and commissioned August 2, 1951. It was the first steel vessel built after World War II at the port, and was christened Wilhelm Pieck after the first president of the German Democratic Republic. In 1990 it participated in the first German sail event. The ship was later given to the town of Greifswald and overhauled in Rostock, and re-christened Greif. The ship is used as a training ship for maritime youth education. It has participated in the Hanse Sail, including Hanse Sail Rostock 2011.
