Yemen Daily Port Activity and Shipment Estimates in Metric Tons

PortWatch provides daily port call counts and shipment volume estimates for maritime hubs across Yemen, with data updated through March 2026. The dataset tracks both incoming and outgoing trade flows measured in metric tons at a daily granularity. It serves as a high-frequency monitoring tool for logistics and supply chain activity in the region.

Use Cases

• Monitoring humanitarian aid and commercial supply lines using incoming shipment volume estimates
• Analyzing economic volatility in Yemen through daily port call count fluctuations
• Modeling trade balance trends using the ratio of incoming to outgoing metric tons

Strengths

• Daily temporal granularity for maritime activity
• Standardized volume estimates in metric tons
• Covers both import (incoming) and export (outgoing) directions

Limitations

• Shipment volumes are estimates rather than verified customs manifests
• Geographic scope is restricted to Yemen only
• Lack of specific column headers in the source metadata may require initial exploration
