Overview
Corfu or Kerkyra is one of the Ionian Islands in western Greece, and the northernmost island on Greece's west coast except for its satellite Diapontian Islands, which are also the westernmost point of all Greece. Corfu and the Diapontian Islands mark the International Hydrographic Organization border between the Ionian Sea to the south and the Adriatic Sea to the north. Within the Ionian Islands region, the regional unit of Corfu extends as far south as the Paxoi. The capital and largest city of the regional unit is also named Corfu.

Arrivals, time in port and cargo operations detected from AIS: the position-inferred congestion signal, with the full dwell distribution rather than a single average.
Risk & quality
A coverage-weighted blend of recorded Port-State-Control detentions, marine casualties and live congestion at Kerkira. Higher means more risk exposure for a ship calling here: it is a count of recorded events, not a judgement of the port's management.
Built from 33% of the three signals (scored on a single signal, treat as indicative).
Method. Each signal is normalised to 0 to 10 against an empirical cap, then blended weighting safety (detentions 0.40, casualties 0.35) above operational congestion (0.25). A port is scored only on the signals it has data for, and the weights renormalise. A missing signal is never credited as a safe 0.
Coverage. PSC and casualty data here is regional (US, UK, Canada), so most ports show only congestion and carry a low-confidence flag. Detention/casualty counts come from a country-scoped name match (≈60% of US detentions resolve); unmatched records are dropped, not force-fit.
Detention and casualty signals are screened against open port-state-control and marine-casualty records, combined with our own AIS-derived congestion. Updated Oct 14, 2026.
