Ships whose AIS destination names Prince Rupert, with the arrival time their crew entered. Reported in the last 24 hours, due within 7 days. Crews type these by hand: a destination can be out of date and an ETA can slip.

The IMF estimates 11 port calls in the 7 days and 43 in the 30 days to Sep 25, 2026. That is 2% more than the same 30 days a year earlier (42).
