Port Performance Data provides visibility into the operational efficiency of ports worldwide. This includes historical performance trends and, in some cases, predictive indicators to help users anticipate delays and plan accordingly. The key measurement that is covered here is port congestion.
Coverage
Major global ports with high vessel throughput.
The level of detail and data quality can vary significantly by port.
Sources
AIS data for vessel movements and port calls
Calculated models based on historical trends and live traffic patterns
On-the-ground reports from port agents where possible
Port authority data where available
Methodology
Approaches vary but typically include:
AIS-based tracking to measure vessel arrivals, departures, anchorage times, and berth occupancy.
Statistical modelling to estimate congestion levels, average wait times, and berth turnaround times.
Predictive analytics to forecast expected waiting times factoring in current traffic and historical averages.
Benchmarking tools to compare port performance across regions, vessel types, or time periods.
Why This Data?
Operational Efficiency: Helps operators and charterers manage voyage planning, reduce idle time, and control demurrage exposure.
Cost Management: Supports more accurate fuel, scheduling, and resource planning by anticipating delays.
Risk Mitigation: Provides evidence-based inputs for contractual decisions and dispute resolution (e.g., demurrage claims).
Benchmarking: Enables performance comparison across ports for strategic decision-making.
