Expected arrivals AIS-detected

Ships whose AIS destination names Delfzijl, with the arrival time their crew entered. Reported in the last 24 hours, due within 7 days. Crews type these by hand: a destination can be out of date and an ETA can slip.

3 ships shown, earliest first.

Arrivals per day AIS-detected

Ships Voydar detected arriving at Delfzijl 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.

295 arrivals in 30 days, 9.8 a day on average.

Container: 4
Tanker: 49
Dry bulk: 2
General cargo: 20
Ro-ro: 0

Estimated cargo loaded and discharged in those 30 days: 0.1 million tonnes.
