The Port Intelligence Dashboard contains the following controls and graphics.

Control or Graphic

Purpose

1. Port

Enables you to select a particular port of interest from a drop-down list.

2. Worldwide Metric

Choose a metric to view by clicking the radio buttons.

a. Container

Choose a container metric:

  • Import is the combined Container Discharge Dwell for all ports in the project44 System. Container Discharge Dwell is the time a container sits in the port of discharge before gate-out.

  • Export is the combined Container Loading Dwell is the time a container sits in the port of loading between gate-in and being loaded on a vessel.

b.Vessel

Choose a vessel metric:

  • Berthing is the combined Vessel Berthing Dwell for all ports in the project44 System. Vessel Berthing Dwell is the time a vessel spends inside the terminal being loaded or unloaded, measured from mooring time to unmooring time.

  • Anchor is the combined Vessel Anchor Dwell for all ports in the project44 System. Vessel Anchor Dwell is the time it takes a vessel to actually moor once it has arrived within 50 nmi of the port.

3. Date Range

Choose the timespan for your metric’s statistics: past week, past month, or past three months. By default, Last Week is selected. The following date ranges are available:

  • Last week

  • Last month

  • Last 3 months

4. Statistics

Choose a statistic.

  • 50th percentile (Median)

  • 25th percentile (1st quantile)

  • 75th percentile (3rd quantile)

Median Dwell is the default selection. In the figure above, the number of days that half of all of containers spent in their port of discharge is shown.

5. Interactive Map

Shows the location of every port in the project44 system. You can view the metrics for a particular port, and visually compare the metrics and statistics for each port both by itself and in relation to surrounding ports.

a. Port Location Dots

  • See whether a particular port is hot or cold at a glance.

  • View the metrics of a particular port.

b. Worldwide Statistics Key

See the chosen metric for the chosen date range worldwide across the statistical range.

  • The numbers above each Statistics Key color represent a range of days that a percentage of vessels or containers have spent in that dwell state in any ports with that color.

  • The darker the blue, the “cooler” the port; vessels or containers are spending less time in this state compared to those at other ports.

  • The darker the red, the “hotter” the port; vessels or containers are spending more time in this state compared to those at other ports.

  • You can see at a glance where hot and cold ports are clustered.

c. Map/ Screen Controls

  • Toggle fullscreen mode on and off .

  • Zoom in and out on the map.

  • Change the map’s bearing.

  • Reset the map’s bearing to North.

  • You can also use your mouse to drag into view the area you want to see and to zoom.
