Inbound vessels, recent port calls and time in port at Houston, inferred from AIS positions via the port-call event model. Vessel names link through to each ship’s profile and voyage.
Port Congestion
Vessels underway broadcasting a destination that resolves to this port, closest first. Distance is the real sea route (around land and through canals). Off port is steaming time at the vessel’s passage speed; alongside adds the wait this port has actually kept comparable ships for. Berth waits vary far more than they average, so read the queue as typical, not promised. The crew’s own reported ETA is shown alongside for comparison.
| Vessel | Type | Distance | Speed | Off port | Alongside | Crew ETA |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| NEW JOYFUL | Bulk Carrier | 9 nm | 10.3 kn | 16 Oct | 16 Oct+3h | 15 Oct |
| STOLT AGUILA | Oil or Chemical Tanker | 15 nm | 11.0 kn | 16 Oct | 16 Oct+6h | 15 Oct |
| CL YUWA | Bulk Carrier | 676 nm | 11.4 kn | 19 Oct | · | 18 Oct |
| AFRICAN QUEEN | Bulk Carrier | 2025 nm | 11.7 kn | 23 Oct | · | 26 Oct |
