Port Congestion API
Real-time congestion status of port
Get a real-time status of Port Congestion worldwide. Filter Port Congestion per Vessel Type and characteristics and compare Port Congestion Status with average port congestion. Our API allows you to optimize your voyage planning based on comprehensive port data.

Optimize Voyage Planning
Optimize voyage based on real-time Port Congestion Visibility.
Make informed decisions to reduce waiting times and optimize port calls by accessing current congestion levels and comparing them with historical averages. This helps in reducing unnecessary waiting times caused by not knowing the real-time congestion situation at ports.
Reduce Waiting Times
Plan arrivals during optimal congestion periods
Data-Driven Decisions
Compare congestion with historical averages

What does the Port Congestion API return?
Congestion level, time-in-port statistics and vessel counts for a given port.
Can I query several ports at once?
Yes, up to 10 ports per request through the batch endpoint.
How is congestion measured?
From the port's berth occupation rate compared with its own average, derived from live AIS vessel presence.
How do I identify a port?
By its 5-character UN/LOCODE.
