Import Performance Ocean Ports

Overview

This dataset provides insight into how efficiently ports are processing imports, including how performance has changed over time. It shows the average time from when a vessel arrives to when containers gate out for a look into end to end port processing.

Schema

NameDescription
TEU_BERTHThe volume of twenty-foot equivalent units (TEU) that berthed at the ocean port on vessel
SEVEN_DAY_PERFORMANCEThe container throughput performance for the 7 days prior to the event date. Calculated as avg_hrs_arrive_to_berth + avg_hrs_berth_to_disc + avg_hrs_disc_to_gtot
AVG_HRS_ARRIVE_TO_BERTHAverage time from vessel arrival to vessel berth (vessel wait time) for all vessels that have berthed at the ocean port
N_VES_ARRIVENumber of vessels that have arrived in the vicinity of the port on the indicated date; This means the 24 hour period starting at midnight on that date. Be wary of that quantity for "today" because that day hasn't yet completed.
GTOT_TEU_CLEARANCE_RATE_1_DAYTwenty-foot equivalent units (TEU) where the difference between discharged and out-gated events is 24 hours or less divided by the total teu out-gated on the out-gate date
AVG_HRS_DISC_TO_GTOTAverage time from container discharge to out-gate (import dwell)
TEU_BERTH_REEFERThe volume of refridgerated twenty-foot equivalent units (TEU) that arrived at the ocean port on vessel
DISC_TEU_CLEARANCE_RATE_8_OR_MORE_DAYTwenty-foot equivalent units (TEU) where the difference between discharged and out-gated events is 8 or more days divided by the number of containers on the discharge date
TEU_ARRIVEThe volume of twenty-foot equivalent units (TEU) that arrived at the ocean port on vessel
N_VES_DEPARTNumber of vessels who transitioned from berthed to non-berthed status on the indicated date
TEU_GTOTThe volume of twenty-foot equivalent units (TEU) out-gated at the ocean port
TEU_ARRIVE_REEFERThe volume of refridgerated twenty-foot equivalent units (TEU) that arrived at the ocean port on vessel
PRIOR_SEVEN_DAY_PERFORMANCEThe container throughput performance for the 8-14 days prior to the event date. Calculated as avg_hrs_arrive_to_berth + avg_hrs_berth_to_disc + avg_hrs_disc_to_gtot
N_VES_BERTHNumber of vessels who transitioned from arrival at the port to a berthed state at a terminal on the indicated date
GTOT_TEU_CLEARANCE_RATE_3_DAYTwenty-foot equivalent units (TEU) where the difference between discharged and out-gated events is 2-3 days divided by the total teu out-gated on the out-gate date
PORT_UNLOCODEThe united nations location code of the ocean port
PORT_LATITUDELatitude of the ocean port
PERFORMANCE_CHANGE_FLAGIndicates if an ocean ports performance has imporved or degraded. This is based on the performance_change value
AVG_HRS_DISC_TO_GTOT_RAILAverage time from container discharge to out-gate (import dwell) for containers out-gating on rail
TEU_GTOT_REEFERThe volume of refrigerated twenty-foot equivalent units (TEU) out-gated at the ocean port
EVENT_DTThe day in which the events recorded occured
TEU_GTOT_TRUCKThe volume of twenty-foot equivalent units (TEU) out-gated at the ocean port by truck
N_CTNR_GTOT_RAILThe number of containers that gated out from the port of discharge (POD) on rail
DISC_TEU_CLEARANCE_RATE_1_DAYTwenty-foot equivalent units (TEU) where the difference between discharged and out-gated events is 24 hours or less divided by the number of containers on the discharge date
N_BERTH_LOCATIONSThe number of berth locations a port has available for container vessels
DISC_TEU_CLEARANCEThe volume of twenty-foot equivalent units (TEU) discharged at the ocean port
GTOT_TEU_CLEARANCE_RATE_7_DAYTwenty-foot equivalent units (TEU) where the difference between discharged and out-gated events is 6-7 days divided by the total teu out-gated on the out-gate date
PORT_CITYCity name of the ocean port
AVG_HRS_BERTH_TO_DISCAverage time from vessel berth to container discharge
TEU_DISC_REEFERThe volume of refrigerated twenty-foot equivalent units (TEU) discharged from vessel at the ocean port
DISC_TEU_CLEARANCE_RATE_7_DAYTwenty-foot equivalent units (TEU) where the difference between discharged and out-gated events is 6-7 days divided by the number of containers on the discharge date
N_CTNR_DISCThe number of containers that discharged from the vessel at the port of discharge (POD)
DISC_TEU_CLEARANCE_RATE_5_DAYTwenty-foot equivalent units (TEU) where the difference between discharged and out-gated events is 4-5 days divided by the number of containers on the discharge date
AVG_HRS_DISC_TO_GTOT_TRUCKAverage time from container discharge to out-gate (import dwell) for containers out-gating on truck
N_CTNR_GTOT_TRUCKThe number of containers that gated out from the port of discharge (POD) on truck
PORT_LONGITUDELongitude of the ocean port
