Arrivals per day AIS-detected
Ships Voydar detected arriving at Vigo on each of the last 30 days (UTC), counted once per ship per day. A day with no bar had no detected arrivals, which can also mean a gap in our AIS coverage.

Vigo: daily port calls from satellite AIS (IMF PortWatch)
Estimates published by the International Monetary Fund's PortWatch, built from satellite and terrestrial AIS. They cover waters our own receivers do not reach yet. These are the IMF's figures, not Voydar's counts.
The IMF estimates 32 port calls in the 7 days and 111 in the 30 days to Sep 25, 2026. That is 10% less than the same 30 days a year earlier (124).

On 7 February, three stowaways were found onboard Denmark-flagged tanker HARALD MAERSK while the vessel was transiting from Conakry, Guinea, to Amsterdam, Netherlands. The following day, the ship requested a port call in Vigo, Spain, as the stowaways had reportedly turned violent. Spanish authorities boarded the ship and are conducting an investigation.
