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.

Network

Connectivity & hub role

69.0/ 100

Major hub86th of 350 covered ports

How central Las Palmas sits in the sea-route network we cover: a connectivity score across navigable distances. A higher score means the port is navigationally close to many other well-connected ports, the maritime signature of a hub.

Directly routable to 349 other covered ports.

Best-connected ports

Plan a voyage in the Route Planner

Method. A connectivity score across our own route network: a port reads higher when it is navigationally close to many other well-connected ports. The score is rescaled 0 to 100 within the snapshot, so the single most-connected port reads 100. Distances are Suez / Panama / Malacca-aware navigable sea miles.

Coverage. The route network spans the 350 largest commercial ports, so this ranks hubs within that covered network, not against every port on earth. The number is deterministic. No confidence grade is invented. Computed Oct 15, 2026.

Risk & quality

Port risk & quality

1.9/ 10

Low exposureLow confidence

A coverage-weighted blend of recorded Port-State-Control detentions, marine casualties and live congestion at Las Palmas. 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).

PSC detentions

no data in our coverage

Marine casualties

no data in our coverage

Congestion

1.9/ 10

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 15, 2026.
