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 25, 2026, 19:34 UTC | Draught change Reported draught went from 6.2 m to 9.6 m while in port at Sorel. Seadar infers the ship probably loaded cargo. Method seadar.behaviour.draught_change v1 | High (75%) |
Source: AISstream.io global terrestrial AIS. AIS data: AISstream.io. Licence: none published.
Derived from AIS positions of feeds whose terms allow display on Seadar. Coverage is terrestrial: gaps are reported only where our receivers kept hearing other ships. Detections below medium confidence are not shown.
