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.
Predicted arrival
Voydar estimates arrival at Zeebrugge around Oct 7, 2026, 22:23 UTC, most likely between Oct 5, 2026, 19:29 UTC and Oct 17, 2026, 05:12 UTC. Based on 30 past transits between BELSG and Zeebrugge seen in our port calls. The crew-reported ETA is Sep 26, 2026, 10:30 UTC.
