GlobMaps Proprietary API

Supply Chain Intelligence
Port Risk, Real-Time.

A single API call returns a composite port congestion score (0–100) and ML-predicted ETA adjustment for any of 120+ global ports — aggregating AIS tracking, port operations, weather, and trade flow data.

Why Supply Chain Intelligence?

Port congestion costs global trade $100B+ annually. One API. One score. Act before delays hit.

120+ Ports. Every 5 Minutes.

AIS vessel tracking at major global ports updated every 5 minutes — the most granular maritime intelligence available.

ML ETA Accuracy ±2 Hours

Gradient-boosted model trained on 3+ years of port throughput history to predict accurate vessel ETA adjustments.

Weather-Aware Routing

Storm, swell, and cyclone data fused with port status to flag weather-induced delays before they hit your shipments.

Trade Finance Risk Proxy

Congestion index doubles as a quantitative risk proxy for banks and insurers pricing cargo delivery risk.

Proprietary Model

How Our Scoring Works

5 global data sources → GlobMaps processing → Composite congestion score 0–100

#	Input Dataset	Source	Update	GlobMaps Processing	Component	Weight	Output Field
1	AIS vessel position data	🚢 MarineTraffic	Every 5 min	Vessel density clustering → port congestion index per berth zone	Congestion Index	35%	`congestion_index`
2	Port operations & berth data	⚓ Port Authorities	Real-time	Berth occupancy rate + avg dwell time → availability score	Berth Availability	25%	`berth_availability`
3	Ocean & atmospheric forecasts	🌊 ERA5 / NOAA	Hourly	Storm & swell modeling → weather-induced delay probability	Weather Delay Risk	20%	`weather_delay_risk`
4	Global trade flow indices	📦 UN Comtrade	Monthly	Relative trade volume vs 12-month baseline → demand pressure index	Trade Volume Index	15%	`trade_volume_index`
5	Customs clearance records	📋 World Customs Org	Daily	Historical clearance durations → delay risk score per port	Clearance Delay	5%	`clearance_delay_score`
—	Composite weighted sum	All sources above	—	Clamp to 0–100 → assign category	✦ Final Score	100%	`congestion_index`

Risk Categories

congestion_index mapped to operational severity levels.

0–29

Normal

Typical operations. No significant delays.

30–59

Elevated

Minor congestion. Small ETA adjustments expected.

60–79

High

Significant delays. Plan for rerouting or rescheduling.

80–100

Critical

Major disruption. Immediate contingency action required.

Use Cases

Who uses Supply Chain Intelligence API.

🏭Importers & Exporters

Monitor port congestion at origin and destination to proactively adjust shipping schedules and avoid demurrage fees.

🚛Freight Forwarders

Deliver ML-backed ETA updates to clients in real time, and route cargo through lower-congestion alternative ports.

⚙️Manufacturers (JIT)

Quantify just-in-time supply risk days in advance so production lines can pre-schedule buffer stock or staggered deliveries.

🏦Banks & Trade Finance

Price trade finance products accurately using live congestion scores as a proxy for cargo delivery risk and counterparty exposure.

Quick Start

One request. Full port intelligence. ETA adjustment included.
