Gain comprehensive visibility into direct maritime services connecting two selected ports, without transhipments. This API delivers insights into active services, average measured transit durations, and historical evolution of performance between departure and arrival ports.
Key Features
🛳 Service Discovery – Retrieve a list of all shipping services that offer direct connections (no transhipments) between a specified departure port and arrival port.
⚓ Transit & Waiting Durations The dataset provides a complete overview of port-to-port transit durations by accounting for both active voyage and operational delays. It explicitly details the waiting time at the arrival port and time at sea, alongside the total transit time (the sum of time spent at sea and port waiting time).
📈 Historical Evolution – Observe how transit durations have evolved since January 2020, allowing performance benchmarking, seasonal trend analysis, and historical comparisons.
📅 Time Frame Control – Customize your query with flexible date range parameters to analyze services and performance for a specific period.
=> Once you set up your observation_date & date_window filters, the calculated transit time will integrate all voyage legs that terminated within the date range, starting from {observation_date} up to {date_window } days backward.
🔄 No Transhipment – Results are filtered to include only direct services, ensuring clean routing data without intermediate port handling.
📊 Data Structuring & Pagination – Utilize cursor-based pagination to efficiently navigate large datasets across routes and time frames.
🚀 This API empowers supply chain professionals, port authorities, logistics teams, line managers, shippers, and cargo stakeholders with actionable insights into routing efficiency and service reliability between global port pairs.
Methodology
Transit time averages are computed based on the following tracking milestones:
average_transit_time: Measured from the Port of Loading (POL) terminal departure to the Port of Discharge (POD) waiting area entry.
average_arrival_waiting_time: Measured exclusively while the vessel is idling within the POD waiting/anchorage area.
average_total_transit_time: The cumulative sum of the active transit time and the arrival waiting time.
