Critical Timeline
Estimate from Aruba to Willemstad
At a steady 18 knots (fuel-efficient cruising speed), based on available sources/data, the ship would have arrived off Curaçao between ~4:20 and ~4:50 a.m. This leaves a short waiting period offshore before the 5:00 a.m. docking and clearance.
(According to available navigational charts”, “approximate location”, “based on ship’s scheduled path.)
