Port waiting times at anchor, port by port

Updated 14 November 2026

Port pages on Gangway AIS show the vessels waiting at anchor by name and the median wait this week. The figures are worked out again every hour from what vessels actually did.

How a wait is measured

A wait runs from the moment a vessel anchors off the port to the moment she berths. We give the median and the 90th percentile for this week and the weeks before, tankers and cargo apart, the vessels still waiting and the longest wait. Days our sources did not hear the port are left out, not counted as empty.

Free on every port page

No account is needed. Start with Rotterdam · Antwerp · Hamburg · Dunkerque · Le Havre · Felixstowe · Southampton · Algeciras · Valencia · Genoa · Piraeus · Istanbul or browse all ports.

By API and as a report

The waiting times endpoint gives the figures with the vessels behind them, the congestion index compares a port with its own normal and the port waiting report covers a month as a printable page.

How well a port is heard

A wait can only be measured where our sources hear the anchorage. The coverage page grades how well the main ports were heard over the last 7 days and each report says how well its period was heard.

AIS data can be late, missing or wrong. Not for navigation.
