Port calls

Two kinds of evidence, kept apart: calls Voydar 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
Kawasaki JPKWS	Sep 24, 2026, 08:27 UTC	Sep 25, 2026, 04:54 UTC	20 h 28 min
Chiba JPCHB	Sep 24, 2026, 03:56 UTC	Sep 24, 2026, 05:04 UTC	1 h 9 min

Detected by Voydar 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 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, 04:46 UTC	Draught change Reported draught went from 3.7 m to 4.7 m after leaving Kawasaki. Voydar infers the ship probably loaded cargo. Method seadar.behaviour.draught_change v1	Medium (55%)
Sep 25, 2026, 00:33 UTC	Draught change Reported draught went from 4.7 m to 3.7 m while in port at Kawasaki. Voydar infers the ship probably discharged cargo. Method seadar.behaviour.draught_change v1	Medium (65%)
