Explore port history
Mobility Intel now includes a Port-call history browser for historical sources, ports and source-native series. Date filters, native-frequency trends, original fields, collection receipts and map links make the records easier to inspect.
Global and official archives
The initial archive contains 10,891,809 numeric source cells across 157,304 series, plus published missing cells. These include native arrival counts, tonnage measures and provider growth rates; they are not 10.89 million individual ship events.
IMF PortWatch contributes 5,920,355 daily port records across 2,065 ports from 1 January 2019 through 6 November 2026. Eurostat quarterly statistical-port and annual main-port tables, Singapore MPA/SingStat vessel arrivals, UK Department for Transport workbooks and UNCTAD port-call counts distributed through World Bank Data360 extend the official histories.
The UK archive also preserves the older cargo-arrival worksheet beginning in 1994. Its reporting basis remains distinct from the newer detailed tables. Singapore total arrivals begin in 1987, with vessel classes from 1995. Its latest refresh returned an access error, so the previously verified public download is retained with that status visible.
Retained vintages and API access
The native Mobility data API and shared MCP read route expose source discovery, series search, dated observations, complete single-series trends, receipts and accepted archive vintages. Weekly full-archive refreshes are configured to capture revisions while retaining last-good data when a source fails.
Read the source definitions
Port-day counts are not individual ship-event histories or measured congestion. Native units, missing cells, provider flags, overlapping aggregates and methodology changes are retained. Daily, quarterly and annual records are not resampled into a common frequency.
Global Fishing Watch, VesselFinder and Kpler/MarineTraffic event archives are listed with registration, permission or contract requirements. Their event records have not been acquired. Sources: Kpler; UN Global Platform; IMF PortWatch. Source-specific reuse terms remain visible in the browser.
