Logistics Port Congestion Index
by SiteCheck Trade & Energy in Other
Weekly port congestion figures for one port from Portcast's public port page: median waiting time (days), average vessels waiting per day, congestion category and week-on-week change. Free public page data (not the paid API), and only for ports Portcast publishes; the slug is the port name in lowercase, e.g. ako or long-beach.
