Behaviour at sea Seadar-derived
Patterns Seadar 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 |
|---|---|---|
| Sep 24, 2026, 09:25 UTC | Draught change Reported draught went from 11 m to 14 m while in port at Saint Petersburg (ex Leningrad). Seadar infers the ship probably loaded cargo. Method seadar.behaviour.draught_change v1 | High (75%) |
