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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Bremerhaven DEBRV | Sep 29, 2026, 11:33 UTC | Sep 30, 2026, 04:39 UTC | 17 h 6 min |
| Hamburg-Mitte DEHTJ | Jun 16, 2026, 03:17 UTC | Jun 16, 2026, 06:40 UTC | 3 h 23 min |
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 29, 2026, 13:17 UTC | Draught change Reported draught went from 10.8 m to 10.2 m while in port at Bremerhaven. Seadar infers the ship probably discharged cargo. Method seadar.behaviour.draught_change v1 | Medium (65%) |
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.
