PORT OPERATIONS
Understanding Port Traffic Data
Port traffic data draws on AIS position reports, port authority notices, and VTS feeds to give a real-time picture of vessel movements.
Expected Arrivals (ETA)
The time a vessel is expected to arrive at the port based on AIS reported ETA, current position, and speed. Updated continuously as the vessel approaches.
Notice of Readiness (NOR)
When a vessel arrives at the pilot station or anchorage and is ready to berth, the master tenders NOR. Time of NOR tendering is a key commercial event for charter parties.
Draught & Air Draught
A vessel's draught (depth below waterline) must be within port and channel limits. Air draught (height above water) must allow safe passage under bridges and cables.
Port State Control
PSC inspectors may board vessels on arrival to verify SOLAS, MARPOL, and MLC compliance. Deficiencies can lead to detentions and traffic delays at any port.
VTS — Vessel Traffic Services
Most major ports operate a VTS similar to air traffic control — mandatory reporting on entry, berthing coordination, and real-time radio communication with vessels.
UNLOCODE
The UN/LOCODE is a standard 5-character geographic code identifying every port and place worldwide. The first two characters are the ISO country code (e.g. SGSIN for Singapore).
