Live Tracking
Resolved from the live AIS destination. Distance is the real sea route (around land and through canals). “Off the port” is steaming time only; “likely alongside” adds the wait this port has actually kept comparable ships for. The queue is a typical case, not a promise — berth waits vary far more than they average. A destination is the crew’s stated intent, not a confirmed fixture.
Intelligence
Operational Status
Making way at sea speed on its latest broadcast.
Read from the single most-recent AIS broadcast we hold for this hull. We keep no position history, so this is a point-in-time posture, not a dwell inference. Derived in-house from our own AIS feed; weight it by the broadcast age above.
Composite Risk
Multiple adverse factors, or a hard ship-specific signal, lift this hull above the fleet norm.
A coverage-weighted blend of the single component we could read for this hull; the weights renormalise over only the components present, so a thin read is never inflated and a hull is never credited a “safe 0” for a signal it has no row for. This headline is flagged low-confidence (a thin or structural-only read) and should not be treated as a verdict. Higher means riskier. Derived in-house from government-open port-State-control, flag, sanctions and our own vessel data; weight it by the coverage above.
