How project44 Calculates Ocean ETAs
project44 calculates an estimated time of arrival (ETA) for Ocean shipments and containers based on the following factors:
-
Lane performance. This includes data on historic vessel and container transit times and typical average speed of vessels in this lane.
-
Schedules and plans. This includes the vessel schedules, terminal schedules, and time remaining until the scheduled appointment start and end times for the stop.
-
Telemetry. This includes the vessel's speed, position, and captain's ETA.
-
Port conditions. This includes the port's location coordinates, geofences, and the current port congestion status.
-
Vessel information. This includes the vessel's size, capacity, typical average speed, and any sailing constraints.
-
Container information. This includes the container's size and the leg of the journey it is currently in.

-
In the overview panel, p44 PREDICTS indicates when the container or shipment will arrive to its destination.
-
In the route panel, the project44-predicted ETA is listed for each event at a stop in the Prediction column.
