PortWatch tracks daily port call counts and shipment volume estimates in metric tons for maritime hubs across Türkiye. This time-series data, updated through March 2026, provides granular insights into both incoming and outgoing trade flows at the port level.

Use Cases

• Analyzing port congestion by monitoring the daily count of port calls
• Correlating outgoing shipment volumes in metric tons with national economic performance indicators

Strengths

• Daily temporal resolution for port activity monitoring
• Includes both incoming and outgoing shipment volume estimates
• Standardized measurement using metric tons for trade volume

Limitations

• Shipment volumes are estimates rather than confirmed customs declarations
• Lack of explicit column definitions may require initial data exploration to identify join keys
