Port calls

Two kinds of evidence, kept apart: calls Seadar detected from the ship's AIS positions, and arrivals and departures published by port authorities and customs records.

Detected from AIS AIS-detected

Port	Arrived	Departed	Time in port
Limassol CYLMS	Sep 29, 2026, 19:08 UTC	Sep 30, 2026, 21:51 UTC	26 h 43 min
Piraeus GRPIR	Sep 26, 2026, 15:55 UTC	Sep 28, 2026, 05:05 UTC	37 h 9 min

Drapetzona GRDPA	Sep 12, 2026, 15:11 UTC	Sep 23, 2026, 11:03 UTC	10 d 19 h

Detected by Seadar when the ship's AIS positions stayed slow inside a harbour area. Calls shorter than 30 minutes are not shown. Depends on AIS reception; detection started on June 8, 2026.

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 28, 2026, 03:39 UTC	Draught change Reported draught went from 6.6 m to 8 m while in port at Piraeus. Seadar infers the ship probably loaded cargo. Method seadar.behaviour.draught_change v1	Medium (65%)
Sep 24, 2026, 18:36 UTC	Draught change Reported draught went from 8.1 m to 6.6 m while in port at Limassol. Seadar infers the ship probably discharged cargo. Method seadar.behaviour.draught_change v1	Medium (65%)
