Brunsbuttel: daily port calls from satellite AIS (IMF PortWatch)
Estimates published by the International Monetary Fund's PortWatch, built from satellite and terrestrial AIS. They cover waters our own receivers do not reach yet. These are the IMF's figures, not Voydar's counts.
The IMF estimates 40 port calls in the 7 days and 173 in the 30 days to Sep 25, 2026. That is 3% less than the same 30 days a year earlier (178).

- 28
- Tanker
