Use Cases

• Forecasting port congestion using daily port call counts
• Modeling trade volume trends using incoming and outgoing metric ton estimates
• Assessing supply chain disruptions through daily activity fluctuations

Strengths

• Daily temporal resolution for maritime activity
• Dual-direction tracking of incoming and outgoing volumes
• Quantitative metrics provided in metric tons

Limitations

• Shipment volumes are estimates rather than primary customs records
• Metadata does not specify the total number of records or specific column names
