The Port Congestion API provides accurate, real-time, and historical insights into port congestion, using berth occupation as its core metric. By combining AIS data with maritime operational intelligence and historical trends, the API supports better decision-making across your supply chain.
Our methodology is based on analyzing vessel presence and berth availability within clearly defined port areas. By factoring in both current activity and past patterns, the API delivers reliable, actionable indicators — tailored for different vessel types, including container ships, tankers, and RoRo vessels.
The API provides the following core information:
- Real-time congestion rates (%) — overall and by vessel type
- Deviation from historical port averages (%)
