In the news Authority-reported
Reports that name Aurora Borealis, newest first: the headline, the outlet and a link to the original. Voydar does not copy articles. A report tied to this ship by its IMO number in the text says so; a report that only prints the name is a possible match, because other ships can carry the same name.
- greenreport.itOct 1, 2026Possible match · name only · 60% confidence
The report names “Caroline Bezengi”; Voydar matched it to this ship by the name alone. It may be about a different ship.

A sanctions list's date is the earliest date the list shows the name, not when the ship took it.
