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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Contecar COCNR | Oct 1, 2026, 10:16 UTC | in port | — |
| Savannah USSAV | Sep 25, 2026, 15:24 UTC | Sep 26, 2026, 14:39 UTC | 23 h 14 min |
| Norfolk USORF | Sep 23, 2026, 21:11 UTC | Sep 24, 2026, 05:35 UTC | 8 h 24 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 24, 2026, 05:44 UTC | Draught change Reported draught went from 9.2 m to 9.7 m after leaving Norfolk. Seadar infers the ship probably loaded cargo. Method seadar.behaviour.draught_change v1 | Medium (55%) |
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.
