Expected arrivals AIS-detected

Baton Rouge: 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 Seadar's counts.

The IMF estimates 7 port calls in the 7 days and 34 in the 30 days to Sep 25, 2026. That is 36% more than the same 30 days a year earlier (25).
