What it can do

  • Compare Lanes: Compare ocean carriers serving an origin→destination port pair, ranked by on-time reliability and transit time. Use this to decide which line to book.
  • Carrier Reliability: On-time performance and delay distribution for a specific carrier (by SCAC), optionally on a given lane.
  • Transit Time: Observed transit-time distribution (median / p90, in days) for a carrier on an origin→destination lane.

compare_lanesCompare ocean carriers serving an origin→destination port pair, ranked by on-time reliability and transit time. Use this to decide which line to book.
carrier_reliabilityOn-time performance and delay distribution for a specific carrier (by SCAC), optionally on a given lane.
transit_timeObserved transit-time distribution (median / p90, in days) for a carrier on an origin→destination lane.
find_sailingsObserved and derived upcoming departures on an origin→destination lane, with carrier and frequency.
get_schedulesPublished forward sailing schedules on an origin→destination lane: carrier, vessel, voyage, ETD/ETA and cut-offs, soonest first. Sourced from carrier connectors (and aggregator coverage). Use this to find concrete upcoming departures to book.
find_best_sailingsDecision query: the best upcoming sailings on a lane, ONE per carrier (next bookable departure), ranked. Filter by date window, max transit days, min on-time reliability, cut-off still open, and direct-vs-transshipment. Use this to answer "what should I book?".
watch_laneWatch a lane for schedule alerts (PAID): get emailed when a sailing on it is blanked, a booking cut-off is about to close, or a sailing slips. Also alerts on reliability drops. Returns the created watch.
port_reliabilityCongestion and dwell signals for a port (UN/LOCODE) — average wait and vessels at anchor.
carrier_leagueCarrier league table — ocean carriers ranked by overall on-time reliability across all tracked lanes.
