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

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything about port congestion

Sign-up for free

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.
