PortWatch tracks daily maritime traffic and shipment volumes in metric tons for ports across Mauritania. This time-series dataset provides estimates for both incoming and outgoing cargo, with records updated through March 2026.

Use Cases

• Forecasting trade trends using daily port call counts
• Calculating monthly import-export ratios based on incoming and outgoing metric ton estimates
• Identifying seasonal port congestion by analyzing daily traffic volume fluctuations

Strengths

• Daily temporal resolution for maritime activity
• Distinguishes between incoming and outgoing shipment volumes
• Provides cargo weight data in standardized metric tons

Limitations

• Shipment volumes are based on estimates rather than primary customs records
• Metadata does not specify the number of unique ports covered within Mauritania
