Crew ETA

13 Oct 2026

Resolved from the live AIS destination. Distance is the real sea route (around land and through canals). The computed ETA is steaming time at the vessel’s passage speed, and does not include any wait for a berth. A destination is the crew’s stated intent, not a confirmed fixture.

Port calls

50 recent · AIS-detected

Arrivals, time in port and the load/discharge inferred from the draught change, detected from AIS track history. An open call means the vessel is still in port (no departure observed yet).

Method: each call is a run of fixes inside a port’s geofence confirmed by a stop (or an AIS gap); load/discharge is the sign of the draught delta over the call. Indicative: arrivals before our AIS history began read from the first observation.

Flag registerno data

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.
