Market signal analytics

Port calls are a leading indicator of trade, supply, and demand. Make those signals readable at scale:

  • Spot regional demand shifts before they show up in commodity prices
  • Track LNG-ready and dual-fuel vessel clustering ahead of a demand move
  • Compare year-on-year activity to separate seasonality from real change
Market signal analytics

Commercial intelligence & benchmarking

See who's calling, who's growing, and where the opportunity is:

  • Benchmark your port's traffic and vessel mix against competing ports
  • Track carrier, operator, and ownership activity to spot share shifts early
  • Split by ownership and operator to prospect growth accounts you don't yet serve
Commercial intelligence & benchmarking

Flexible filtering & split views

Build analyses around your own market or commercial questions rather than relying on fixed reports:

  • Filter by port, country, vessel type, flag, DWT, and fuel readiness, the headline filter for bunker and alternative fuel demand analysis
  • Split results by ownership, operator, or commercial manager to size accounts and territories
  • Move from chart to underlying rows without leaving the workspace

Up to five years of port call history, ready to query on demand:

  • Apply monthly, quarterly, or yearly granularity to any question
  • Use moving averages to separate signal from noise

Other derived insights solutions

What is the Port Call Trends solution?

Port Call Trends is a dashboard within Shipping Intelligence, a workspace inside MarineTraffic Enterprise that turns historical vessel arrivals and departures into market and commercial intelligence. It helps users read port call activity as a signal of trade, supply, and demand, and as a way to benchmark ports, track carrier and operator activity, and identify growth accounts.

How is the Port Call Trends solution different from the Explore solution?

Port Call Trends is a trend-based analytics experience, not a table of port call records. It's built for analysing activity over time as a market or commercial signal, with advanced filters and split views across vessel, ownership, and operator dimensions.

Which vessels are covered within Port Call Trends?

The first release covers IMO vessels only. Non-IMO coverage may be added in a future phase.

Can I export data or access it through an API?

Not in the initial release. Port Call Trends is a web-first workspace with a table view for reviewing the rows behind any chart.

Is the Port Call Trends solution included in MarineTraffic Enterprise?

Port Call Trends is a paid add-on for MarineTraffic Enterprise customers. Enterprise customers receive one month of free access as part of the launch motion. After that period, continued access requires purchase as an add-on.

How far back does the data go?

Up to five years of historical port call activity, depending on selected filters and available data.

Who uses the Port Call Trends solution?

Economists and macro strategists, commodity and trade-flow desks, port authorities benchmarking against competing ports, terminal operators tracking carrier and operator mix, port services and agents prospecting new accounts, bunker suppliers sizing alternative fuel demand, shipowners and fleet managers, and financial and government researchers.
