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.
| When | What we observed | Confidence |
|---|---|---|
| Sep 26, 2026, 14:40 UTC | Two positions This MMSI was reported in two places 12 km apart at the same time: two transmitters may share the number, or the positions were disturbed. Method seadar.behaviour.mmsi_conflict v1 | Medium (60%) |
