About
Find and compare maritime ports
Seadex catalogs the world's main commercial ports and aggregates their operational data: TEU volumes, port calls, berth occupancy, real-time congestion via AIS, sustainability indicators and shipping companies serving each port. Each port profile directly links the carriers and vessels that frequent it.
Use the search to access a port by its name, city or UN/LOCODE code, or explore by country and maritime basin. To track a port's activity in real time, Seadex relies on Maritrace (opens in a new tab).
Port profiles combine live congestion and connectivity signals with structural data — location, terminals, draft — so a port page answers both where it is and how it is performing right now. Every port also links to the countries and carriers that call there, and to comparable ports through the port comparison tool.

Frequently asked questions
What data does each port profile include?
Each port page combines structural details (location, terminals, draft) with live performance signals such as congestion and connectivity, plus the carriers and sea routes that serve it.
How is port data kept up to date?
Congestion and connectivity metrics refresh daily; structural port data (location, terminals, infrastructure) is reviewed quarterly against maritime authority and terminal operator sources.
Can I compare two ports directly?
Yes — the port comparison tool lines up two ports side by side on connectivity, congestion and infrastructure; look for 'Compare ports' in the ports menu.
Maritrace aggregates AIS positions from over 1M vessels: port calls, anchorage waits, predictive ETAs and history — by port and by vessel.
