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.

Sep 28, 2026, 04:44 UTC	Draught change Reported draught went from 8.6 m to 11.9 m while in port at Marcus Hook. Seadar infers the ship probably loaded cargo. Method seadar.behaviour.draught_change v1	High (75%)
