Port Congestion Dashboard

Know which ports will slow your cargo — before it ships.

One live view of congestion at ports worldwide. See where vessels are waiting, how long they're stuck, and which hubs are getting worse this week — so you can plan routings, set delivery expectations, and act on delays with evidence instead of guesswork.

What you can do

Global congestion map

Every major port on one color-coded map — flat view or an interactive 3D globe. Bubble size shows scale, color shows severity. Click any port to drill straight in.

Most congested ports

An instant leaderboard of the worst hotspots, ranked by waiting time, dwell, or backlog — each with a week-over-week trend arrow so direction is obvious.

Recent shifts

Catch ports deteriorating fast. Compare any two date ranges across congestion, dwell, backlog and traffic, and see the before / after change ranked biggest first.

Port deep-dive

Per-port history: throughput, cumulative delay vs. a 365-day baseline, weekly waiting & dwell with median and 90th-percentile outliers, and vessel turnaround.

Side-by-side comparison

Benchmark one port against several others on the same chart, weekly or daily, with the delta vs. your reference — ideal for choosing between routing options.

Search any port, instantly

Jump to any port in the world in seconds by name or code — no menus to dig through — and open its full congestion profile in one click.

How the data reads

Congestion severity

Color tells you at a glance how bad a port is right now.

The core metrics

Every port view and ranking is built from these.

WaitingAverage days a vessel waits at anchorage before it can berth.
DwellAverage time a vessel spends alongside once it has berthed.
BacklogNumber of vessels currently queued and waiting to be worked.
ThroughputHow many vessels actually berthed and were handled — the port's real working capacity.

Why it matters to you

Plan around delays early. Spot building congestion before it reaches your cargo and adjust bookings in time.
Choose routings with evidence. Compare ports side by side and pick the option with the shorter, more stable wait.
Set expectations you can defend. Give customers realistic ETAs backed by live port performance, not hope.
One view, the whole world. Global coverage in a single dashboard — no spreadsheets, no stitching sources together.
