Expected arrivals AIS-detected

Ships whose AIS destination names Port Arthur, 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 Crews type these by hand: a destination can be out of date and an ETA can slip.

2 ships shown, earliest first.

Arrivals per day AIS-detected

Ships Seadar detected arriving at Port Arthur 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.

158 arrivals in 30 days, 5.3 a day on average.
