Arrivals per day AIS-detected
Ships Voydar detected arriving at Hong Kong on each of the last 30 days (UTC), counted once per ship per day. A day with no bar had no detected arrivals, which can also mean a gap in our AIS coverage.

The IMF estimates 256 port calls in the 7 days and 1,104 in the 30 days to Sep 25, 2026. That is 8% less than the same 30 days a year earlier (1,197).
