Port Congestion Felixstowe, Suffolk, UK, GBFXT

GoComet’s Port Delay smart tool calculates the delays at major ports across the globe and gives the live port congestion data to the users.

GoComet’s port congestion tracker analyzes more than 45000 containerized shipments per month at major ports across US, EU, EMEA and SEA regions. Supported by GoComet platform’s real-time container tracking data, our machine learning algorithm calculates congestion/delays at ports based on the turnaround times of these containers at a given arrival/departure port.

Our delay calculation logic takes into account the time spent by vessels in proximity to the port (ideally, anchorages or queues) and the time taken by the container to gate-out (be cleared) from the port once the vessel arrives at the port to build real on-ground delays.

GoComet’s port congestion tracker analyzes more than 45000 containerized shipments per month at more than 400 major seaports spread across US, EU, EMEA and SEA regions.

In this same page, scroll above and enter a port name under the option “Search your preferred port”. You will find the live port congestion data for that particular port.

The calculated congestion index is a median value which would hold true for a maximum number of cases (excluding outliers). Median delay indicates the average number of days your shipment could be delayed due to port congestion

• Red (More than 5 days delay)
• Orange (3 – 5 days delay)
• Yellow (Less than 3 days delay)

Yes! GoComet’s port congestion API can be integrated with any client ERP system and the data pulled out can be used to create your own interface as per the client’s use case.

GoComet’s port congestion data gives real-time visibility over port congestion that uses a combination of multiple sources such as AIS data, geofencing around ports and live container events data – collected from over 45000 containers tracked every month.

Prolonged port delays can disrupt production cycles, thus causing an impact on the delivery schedules. As vessels queue outside ports and turnaround times increase, it could be a real challenge to secure cargo space. Adding to this, a lack of visibility over space availability and changes in lead times complicate shipment planning. Keeping stakeholders informed about the changes in arrival timings, delays in transshipment, etc., became increasingly difficult due to a lack of reliable information on port delays and inefficiencies in tracking updates.
