How to read port movements
Port movements combine planned times, actual times, and administrative references. This guide explains the fields shown in the view and the limits to keep in mind.
ETA and ATA: planned and actual arrival
ETA means estimated time of arrival. It is a prediction recorded in the system and can change.
ATA means actual time of arrival. Treat it as a completed event only when that field is filled.
ETD and ATD: planned and actual departure
ETD means estimated time of departure. ATD means actual time of departure. A planned time does not replace confirmation that the ship departed.
When a row has an actual arrival but no actual departure, the ship may still be in port or the departure may not yet be recorded.
IMO, call, and reference numbers
The IMO is the international number used to identify a ship. A call is the reference for a port visit, while other codes are administrative references shown by the source.
Not every vessel has a valid IMO in the public field. An administrative code should not be presented as an IMO number.
Filters and limits
Use island and port to reduce the list. Use movement type to separate arrivals, ships in port, departures, cruises, and history. Date filters help narrow the period.
The local copy depends on updates from the official source. Delays, unavailable responses, or later corrections are possible. The official page is the reference for operational decisions.
