Predictive and real-time visibility from vessel to terminal operations

Terminal congestion

Proactive re-routing, smarter contracting, and the power to avoid terminal bottlenecks before they disrupt your schedule.



Port averages don’t tell you where the pain is. Terminal Congestion gives you vessel-level, terminal-specific insight into where and why disruptions occur, before your containers are impacted.

Track global movements and predict disruptions

Monitor live vessel positions globally, at berth, anchorage, or queue, with AIS-based data, including carrier and service information.

Access a complete schedule of vessel calls, past, present, and upcoming, with berth-level predictions to support planning and resource allocation.

Gain terminal-level visibility on wait times, berth stays, and congestion forecasts to anticipate delays and adjust operations accordingly.

Predictive schedules

Plan ahead with 6-week vessel forecasts.

Greater schedule confidence, better container positioning, and the ability to plan inland and terminal resources in advance, even in unstable market conditions.


Go beyond static carrier schedules. Predictive Schedules uses AI-enhanced models to project container vessel movements across all major ports and terminals up to 6 weeks out.

Predictive ETAs

“We had no real-time visibility on our container shipments. Now, we can proactively manage disruptions before they impact production.”

What container intelligence does Kpler provide?

Kpler's container intelligence platform delivers real-time vessel tracking, predictive ETAs, carrier performance benchmarking, and port and terminal analytics — all built on independent, carrier-agnostic data combining AIS, scraped carrier data, and proprietary algorithms.

How does Kpler's container tracking differ from carrier-reported data?

Carrier-reported data reflects what shipping lines choose to publish, which can lag reality during disruptions. Kpler's tracking is entirely independent — built on AIS vessel positions, port call data, anchorage times, and terminal performance — giving users an objective view that can be used to benchmark, challenge, and negotiate with carriers.

How does Kpler help identify and explain container shipping delays?

Kpler goes beyond shipment location to explain root causes of delays — surfacing emerging bottlenecks at specific ports or terminals, congestion patterns, and downstream supply chain impacts before they escalate. This gives logistics and procurement teams the advance warning needed to act rather than react.

How does Kpler calculate container ETAs?

Kpler's predictive ETA models draw on multiple inputs simultaneously — vessel behaviour, port congestion, terminal activity, berth utilisation, and historical patterns — rather than relying on carrier-reported data alone. This delivers carrier-independent, high-confidence arrival forecasts that reflect actual conditions on the water.

What carrier and trade lane benchmarking does Kpler offer?

Kpler enables objective comparisons across carriers and trade lanes using actual port calls, anchorage times, dwell times, and terminal performance data. Users can benchmark on-time delivery, schedule reliability, and port skip frequency — turning tracking data into actionable procurement and contract negotiation intelligence.
