Port Intelligence
Overview
project44's Port Intelligence API enables users to
- Get real-time and historical data about container dwell times, vessel dwell times, and the number of incoming vessels at ports around the globe.
- Monitor potential macro risk, update ETAs, reroute shipments to different ports, and generate more accurate lead times.

| Vessel Anchor Dwell | The time in days it takes for a vessel to moor in port once it has arrived in the vicinity of 50 miles |
